Ah yes, the Costco 10lbs of ground beef. The cheapest way to highly bioavailable protein and nutrition (around $2.50 a lbs). If they don't have it out, you can always knock on the butcher window and ask for it. They often sell it to their business customers.

Although somebody somewhere will eventually pay the cost it has on the environment, generally red meat is the worst option in that regard.

Ruminants have existed before civilization, they will exist after civilization. They are part of the normal biocycle. Critical for top soil development. They are a absolute requirement in nature.

Wild ruminants sure but our burger bovine hardly represent the historical precedent. Factory farming is not restoring our topsoil unfortunately. Actually beef demand is leading to a large amount of deforestation.

[-] jet@hackertalks.com 11 points 1 month ago

Agreed on factory farming : including monocroping

Red meat isn't the big evil, it's unsustainable farming methods.

Cows outnumber all other mammals on earth, excluding humans, and a large majority of cropland is dedicated to feeding them, maybe we can have a set number of them?

[-] jet@hackertalks.com 6 points 1 month ago

How about: all cows in captivity must live on pastures and can't be fed grains?

You'll need something like 3,151,600,000 Acres of fair quality grazing land, and funny you mention that because I recently heard news of people putting into place a plan sort of like yours, image attached below.

Look, I'm not telling people to give up meat. I love meat. I'd buy the bulk burger and freeze most of it without a second thought, turn some into my specialty summer sausage to share with friends and family. But I think people should be conscious of the costs of the meat and limit their intake.

Your downvotes of my comments in this thread paint a mixed message.

Hey you don't have to upvote me, but the messaging is mixed. Typically the people who downvote don't engage in earnest discussions.

Kirkland (Costco) brand products tend to have very high standards and chains of custody.

I.e. Kirkland olive oil is probably the only reputable way to get unadulterated olive oil in the US. Every time I've read about people testing olive oils in stores, Kirkland is always authentic

Yeah we used to buy these and freeze it in 1 lb bags until we bought a quarter cow.

[-] ohwhatfollyisman@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

that’s going to result in an extremely painful and extremely satisfying poo.

All of the price tags are just slightly to blurry... Always curious about local prices

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
