If the issue you're referring to are the ethical problems of farming, they are in no way limited to CAFOs. Some of the worst practices I've personally witnessed have been at small farms. Size is no guarantee of treatment and local

I won't deny that this is a systemic issue and we shouldn't place all the blame on individuals. But it's an absolutely ridiculous claim that it's our only choice. Don't waste you're money buying local because i

Subsidies are certainly part of it, but the entire process is extremely efficient.

It's also cheap because there are very few protections and regulations for the animals and the fact that selective breeding has gotten their farmed lifespan down to just 6 weeks.

It has nothing to do with being "woke". It's laughably innacurate.

Humans don't require animal products to live (or thrive). And your "what got us here" comment is a Naturalistic Fallacy.

Agricultural subsidies that affect beef, either directly or indirectly, have been in place in the US for almost a century. So either your father is quite old, did not live in the US, or that meat was subsidized.

Ah yes. The birthplace of several religions that that introduced the moral worthiness of animals centuries (if not longer) before the West and the origin of all mock meats up until a few decades ago has no interest in animal well-being. Abs

Yeah, I can certainly appreciate the environmental and cost savings, but this would make me miserable. I could get myself the make the trip for ice cream, but the multiple runs back to the fridge while preparing food has me agitated just th

Sophomore year of HS, my math teacher introduced us to the word equidistant. For at least an entire quarter, I thought he had a speech impediment and was trying to say "equally distant".

I completely agree; it's an alarming trend that's used to sew ignorance. Blindly following experts clearly isn't an antidote to that, which is all I was trying to express originally.

We have more options than blindly trust those who are more likely to be right and "idiot free for all".

I don't disagree with you. The only thing I'm arguing against is the GP's comment that we should blindly put our trust in the groups mentioned. Some of the best parts about science, as you've pointed out, are peer review

Not only the aesthetics, but also the idea that individuals of one sex dissolve into their mates bodies. It's all kind of nightmarish.

Anglerfish have always been the animal that top the charts for me in disgust, terror, and fascination. Really cool to learn more about the way they live.

That went from constructive criticism to unnecessary personal attack in record time.

Weird. I tried searching ginger and had no problem finding recipes that included it as an ingredient.
