In that case, the second best thing would be cutting down on beef consumption and treating it as the luxury it is. So eating that nice medium rare once every two months instead of once a week.
(I don't know anything about your consumption, just making a point.)
- djKianoosh 14y agoonce a week?! whaaat? I want real beef, every day. No fake stuff please. Yes, be nice to the animals, raise them cage free yadda yadda. But I want the real thing.
- Jamiecon 14y agoAppreciate you're possibly joking, but the problem is that it is not possible to support the entire world in this manner. Assuming we all share the goal of a famine free world, with its people living lives of relative equality, then the excessive consumption of meat in the west is a problem which needs to be addressed. As the parent suggests, treat high quality meat like the luxury it is, and enjoy other foods instead. It's better for you, and better for your fellow humans. I see a future where lab grown meat, and meat substitutes make up the majority of our consumption, and hand-reared, high quality meat is saved for special occasions.
- stuff4ben 14y agoYeah with the health concerns over eating a lot of red meat (my side of the family has a history of colon cancer) and the fact that it keeps getting more expensive, we've relegated ribeyes to birthdays and our anniversary. So we get a package of ribeyes from Costco maybe 3-4 times a year (we celebrate as many birthdays and anniversaries as we can). Other than that we eat a lot of chicken and pork. We do consume a fair bit of ground beef for hamburgers and spaghetti however. In that case, I probably wouldn't notice the difference between fake beef and the real thing.
