Yea, the factory farms are definitely pretty awful. I’m lucky enough to both cook at home, live in a big city with lots of good butchers, and have the resources to be able to afford to buy organic, pasture raised, and grass fed meats as much as possible. It’s not always possible to avoid factory farmed meat products, I assume anything I eat out unless the restaurant is very upscale is going to be cheaper cuts, and my parents aren’t rich and don’t buy like that although I’ll try sometimes to grab a turkey for Thanksgiving for instance. Interestingly, my girlfriend is from India and vegetarian as many Indian people I’ve met seem to be, she didn’t like the Impossible Burger at all, because it was too meat like, which is a bit funny to me. Lab grown meats are showing promise for the future which is neat. But yea, life is bloody, violent, and miserable a lot of times. We should be thankful to live in such relatively peaceful times. Seems like there were just millenia’s of near constant region conflicts, famines, plagues, epidemics, religious wars. It hasn’t all gone away, but maybe we’re closer than we’ve ever been?
