Not every meat producing shop aims for the lowest operating costs, ie in Western Europe meat from free range animals are extremely popular, we don't buy any meat (+ eggs) that isn't at least that (for kids it would be great to buy all time bio meat but that's not always available).
Its not BS and lies either, where we live farm animals roam the grass fields or mountain pastures constantly, to the point where it may be tricky to hike some parts of mountains.
- cogman10 3y agoThat’s great and all, but not really practical for all meat eaters. The reason we have factory farms is because it’s significantly cheaper to generate meat with animal cruelty than low cruelty meat. This also assumes you are sourcing all your meat. But have you ever gotten something prepackaged with meat? Or eaten out? Do you know where that meat came from? The market incentivizes animal cruelty. The only way to really combat that is either regulations to make cruelty more expensive than cruelty free meat or a cheaper alternative to cruelty meat. Anything less, including personal choices, is peeing in the ocean to warm it up.
- roflyear 3y agoHow much land would that require if you extrapolated it out to our current meat consumption? How about 2x, since it's projected our consumption will double by 2050? Does the land physically exist?
