- nostromo 4y ago> Do you feel for the coal workers that lost their job because the plant went offline? Yes, obviously yes.
- tomcam 4y ago> Do you feel for the coal workers that lost their job because the plant went offline? Uh, I sure do.
- noirbot 4y agoOdd that what you call a "luxury industry" is essentially something that poor people have been doing for over a century. I generally agree that trying to eat less meat, especially beef, is a fine idea, but farming, ranching, and BBQ are all industries that are about as far from luxury as you can get. A lot of these foods are based around cooking the cheapest and least edible meats that poor communities could afford to buy.
- rafaelero 4y agoWhat is odd is how meat became such a cheap product. The ratio between calories of grains (to feed the cow) to calories of meat is what, 10:1? It is a luxury item. Humans started consuming it in large amounts only in the last 50-100 years.
- noirbot 4y agoIsn't that because calories aren't really directly relevant to how people shop for food or consume it? I can't just replace a hamburger with 10x that amount of grain, or even 1/10th of that amount of grains and get the same nutritional values. For the most part, feed grain for cattle isn't even grains that most humans would eat without plenty of calories of processing by other humans put into it. In general, I feel like you're conflating "modern" with "luxury" in a way that doesn't feel reasonable. Just because we haven't being doing something for long, or that it requires effort/inefficiencies doesn't mean it's innately "luxurious". Certainly not everything modern is good, but almost everything about food even in non-western countries is calorie inefficient and relatively modern as we invented new ways to cook and farm, and spices and cooking methods became more diverse.

- rafaelero 4y agoI mean, if you were to change meat for sugary and processed food then sure, it wouldn't be a good idea. But between meat and beans? Meat and vegetables? There must be a reason vegetarians are leaner than meat eaters and vegans are leaner than vegetarians. Also, virtually all obese people have a meat heavy diet. So, lots of different evidence.
- SoftTalker 4y agoObese people have a calorie heavy diet, that if anything is probably carb-heavy, but it doesn't really matter what the source is.
- rafaelero 4y agoWhat a nonsense. Of course it matters. Some foods are more satiating than others. As an example, compare 100 calories of broccoli with 100 calories of ice cream.
- bpodgursky 4y agoHolding all other variables and calories equal, I'm confident that someone who eats 3000 calories of chicken and broccoli daily is going to have a different body composition and health stats than someone who eats 3000 calories of Doritos.
