Eating less meat? Some people I know eat meat at every meal. It's staggering, considering that in the early 20th century a whole chicken costs around $20 in inflation adjusted dollars.

Do you think the American people are entitled to a right to be able to eat as much meat as possible?

it doesn't matter what i think anyone is entitled to. the question is about viability not ethical diet choices, but i'm guessing you're avoiding that because you don't have a practical solution.

Meat production is incredibly harmful to the environment and there is no reason to eat meat other than I like to

If everyone stopped eating beef we'd probably be better off overall in regards to climate change

While I was driving to class at my university one day I had a deer come flying out of the bushes and slam into the side of my car. Not the hood, the passenger door. The thing was going faster than I was driving and I'd swore it'd killed itself it hit so hard. When I looked back in the rear view mirror, the thing just bounded away back into the bushes on the other side of the road like it never even happened.

Deer are incredible shitheads.

It was probably a young buck getting overly rowdy during mating season.

please walk me through your thesis that describes how we, overnight, change the eating habits of a populous that voted donald trump into office

i agree with the ethical (and medical, as it relates to antibiotics; and environmental) concerns you're trying to make. it does not mean they are remotely practical to immediately solve for, especially with a law that just outright bans the way a major industry operates.

I once had a watermelon in the passenger seat of my car when a deer ran across the road, I slammed on the breaks, didn't hit the deer but my watermelon went flying forward and busted against the glove compartment. That's my deer story, hope you enjoyed it.

Do you have to provide practical solutions to point out problems? I mean the meat industry is a massive problem and I don't think you could fit the 'solution' into a forum post. It would take years to fix and involves a large number of moving parts.

Eating habits are dictated by economics. People will substitute one protein for another if the one they want gets too expensive. See for example how chicken dethroned beef as the dominant dead animal product for most Americans.


Note that all this changes if lab grown meat ever becomes economically and environmentally feasible. Then by all means eat as much vat grown tissue as you want.

This is a good idea, straight up banning anything but free range meat is an impractical idea and probably not constitutional on the federal level, Kucinich is a moonbat. Glad we're all on the same page.

Also it's hilarious that the Federal Reserve gets all of the attention and hate that it does, when the impact of monetary policy on any individual person's life is so far outweighed by the impact of fiscal policy, but for some reason the people responsible for loving up our fiscal policy and using it for unadulterated evil would prefer we be angry at the (((Central bankers))).

As long as he continues loving things up it's hard for people without power who are standing in line for half a day to get food, water and fuel to read tweets.

Edit: The flaw in the plan is of course a rich white man reading those tweets to people standing in line so he can ask them about the tweets while rocking the poo poo out of a black t-shirt.

Let's look to India, the land of healthy people for what we should eat.

Also we're not really designed to eat nothing but plants. You can DO it, but a balanced diet is much better. You're just going to end up replacing all those calories with grain, sugar, and soy.

The whole "meat rots in your gut" thing is a total myth and actually backwards. Our digestive system is very efficient at processing meat, veggies are the things that literally rot in our guts (and create gas) because our body can only break down so much of them. This doesn't mean veggies are bad for our system of course, just want to correct that bullshit vegan myth. Eat real food and stay away from processed crap.

But yes, the meat and agriculture industry at large are still loving the planet.

God, I can't even, the survival of my people is a loving political arguement now. Millions will die because a fat idiots ego got hurt when brown people asked for more help. And because America is a racist shithole: his base is loving every second of this terror.

My people are being genocided against as we speak, but politicans will do nothing.

True. We have evolved as very flexible omnivores. I we had a separate course about it in med school this year, and it's actually really cool how the body has pathways to process nutrients from each source so that you can have necessary stuff like cholesterol, glucose, calcium, sodium and other substances in the right amount and the right place.

If only memorizing all of those pathways and their steps wasn't such a chore...
