On the plus side beef is an original superfood not only a complete protein with a full set of amino acids but also a highly compact dense efficiently transportable protein. Plus a byproduct is ice cream! Moderation required certainly. But for the good of my health and food transport carbon emissions I for one am prepared to fall on the occasional steak...
- irrational 5y agoI think beef and dairy cows are different, right? I wonder what percentage are dairy versus beef?
- tengbretson 5y agoThey don't end up grading good enough for a high end steak, but when they're done with their milk producing days, they all go to the same place.
- purplerabbit 5y agoDepends. Cheap meat (think: McDonalds) is made from dairy cows that are too old to keep producing milk.
- humaniania 5y agoProbably because cows are mammals and are very similar to humans. For example they have families and feelings and think and play. How would you feel if a more advanced species decided to treat humans how many humans treat cows?
- inportb 5y agoThe same way a captive vegetable feels, I imagine. Intermittently amputated. Never fully allowed to heal. You grow as much you could, only to be cut down again at the next harvest.
- bagacrap 5y agoIt's entirely possible this is happening, just in a way that we're not aware of, a la The Matrix. So I guess I feel ambivalent about it. Ignorance is bliss.
