I was hoping it was because they wanted to get to the other side.

The question really is if 597 million eggs went missing first.

[–] Clent 15 points 1 week ago

Now compare that to pigs and cows and graph it over the years. Are they higher or lower on factory farms?

Some quick search shows pigs have a higher fatality rate, around twice as high and cattle have a much lower rate, around one sixth.

I'm sure a journalist could dig deeper and get some decent numbers since the industry tracks this stuff closely. This article is unfortunately not journalism. It has a bias and agenda. Give me the facts and let me draw my own conclusions, please.

When we finally perfect cloned meat, that won't be a problem anymore...

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I dont give a shit about "perfect". Just give me okay. Actually meat isnt perfect it is just one point in the huge realm of possible combinations of flavour, consistency juiciness, etc. But because its the thing we know, we designate it as the target, the "perfect" food that all meat replacements and artificial meat is measured against.

Apparently shrimp is one of the easiest things to replicate. Give me scrimp blocks.....

It will be illegal in January. Gotta save Big Chicken.

Well it will save the animals from living in hell

[–] FlyingSquid 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

We've already essentially perfected it. It's even being scaled up now. The question is whether or not (at least in the U.S.) it will be legal. It already is not in Florida and possibly other states.

[–] Yawweee877h444 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Yeah and it's because of big business and lobbying etc.

Capitalism so fucking stupid. Capitalism is why we can't have nice things lol.

We buy cheap shit that breaks and doesn't last long because if it was actually high quality and long lasting, the company wouldn't make enough profit to stay in business!

A new cheaper, healthier, and waaaay more efficient and ethical method to provide protein to people... no way!

Capitalism blows chunks.

They're hiding a dragon and it's the only way they can sate its hunger so it stops pillaging their village?

Quick guess without reading the article: they’re male.

[–] theatomictruth 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

they died during transport to the slaughterhouse or were slaughtered but deemed unsafe to eat due to a variety of reasons, including tumors, bruising, or infections.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (2 children)

including tumors

Last I checked you can't get cancer by eating it?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What is your point? You want to be eating cancerous tumors? Or you just own a chicken farm and want more profit at the expense of others?

[–] [email protected] -5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I have no idea WTF you are talking about. Take your aggressiveness elsewhere.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

But it does seem like you're suggesting that people should eat the tumors.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

lol suspiciously defensive. I think we've got a chicken farmer over here!

[–] quinkin 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Transmissible Cancer does exist, but no chicken/human variants at the moment.

[–] AbidanYre 4 points 1 week ago

but no chicken/human variants at the moment.

Tl;DR the poultry industry is bad

Seriously though, there are lots of reasons why there’s so much death, but the reasons can be summarized like this: Manufacturing cheap food at an industrial scale results in many unethical choices.

Nope the males are ground up right after sexing. In even larger numbers
