Consumers cut back as some meat products up 40%
- Spivak 5y agoThis article is about a combination of consumer preferences changing and rising grocery store prices pushing people to cheaper options -- it's really not at all specific to meat. Please don't be tone-deaf and use this an an opportunity to say something about greenhouse gases or vague vegetarian or vegan gloating. It just makes us look bad.
- Grakel 5y agoYou're correct, that's why I posted it. Who are you addressing in your comment? Thanks.
- WhisperingShiba 5y agoProbably addressing me, because even though he called me out, I'm still gloating on the inside.
- foolzcrow 5y agoIf everyone became vegan your cost of food would 10x at a minimum. 40% of all us dollars in circulation were printed in the last 24 months. The fact you don't see this connection has me lauging inside and outside at your lack of economic aptitude.
- nscalf 5y agoNo idea why vegans or vegetarians would be gloating, no one is spraying cows with roundup (yes, I know cows feed off agriculture yields). All diets have serious externalities associated with them, no one should be acting like they're better.
- foxyv 5y agoI recently went vegetarian last year and didn't realize what meat prices were like until I had to pick up some for my room-mate. The quality, size, and price are all utterly insane for beef steaks. Rib eyes with zero marbling for 10+ dollars a pound cut into tiny thin steaks.
