I think if people relize not buy the cheapest meat just to have it 3 times a day and pay more attention to the quality, then it's pretty easy to cut down the consumption. No need to go completly veggie.
Isn’t the problem with the meat industry much more environmental? The resources taken to keep animals is insane. 1kg of beef takes around 15 litres of water to produce - in 2016 the world consumed around 130 billion pounds of beef. That’s a lot of water. If you want to lose weight and care about the environment a vegetarian/vegan diet is the way forward.
I'm sorry, I didn't realize that hunters kept their prey in shit infested barely ventilated rooms with special lighting so the eventual products don't kill each other, while being pumped so full of hormones and antibiotics just so they can survive to culling and be a sellable size. Got me good there man.
I understand that all meat will come at a cost, I literally just said I'm mostly keto and understand this, and accept it as part of my diet. Even I can accept the meat industry is f*cked up and could use some renovations. There's reasons there's media snuff laws regarding filming meat factories and related production centers.
Stop buying your meat from the $0.99 store. Whether you're talking nine year olds in sweatshops making Nikes or ten head of cattle grazing enough land for one, it's the competition to hit the bottom of the budget sector that brings about shitty conditions and that lands on the consumers shoulders.
Like anything else on TV, the sensationalized exposes detailing the abhorrent treatment of animals is a representation of a minority of ranchers. And honestly, dairy is far worse in terms of animal treatment if you really want to go bleeding heart. The overwhelming majority of farmers and ranchers actually take damn good care of their stock.
Buy good meat from good butchers harvested from good ranches and those animals live better than they would in the wild, fact. Or buy a rifle and hunt your own shit.
I still need to get around to trying clips properly. What's the best setup for giving it a go? Cheap Shimano setup or are others easier to get used to?
