Good luck with getting Americans to pay more for and/or eat less meat.
We’re practically addicted to eating meat in some form at every meal. Not to mention the weird group of folks that have tied eating meat to masculinity.
- _zoltan_ 2y agonobody talked about eating less meat. I love meat as well. if you feed your livestock better, you get better quality meat! I was shocked how cheap meat is in the US. I was at Costco looking at some briskets and pork belly. Here in Switzerland for good quality meat you're going to pay between 30-50 CHF/kg for pork and up to 120 CHF/kg for beef.
