Hehe, we like meat so much that we’re going to ignore the fact that it destroys the environment and continue farming and eating it like there is still a billion of us on this planet. Also, the prices must be low but i don’t care that living beings are raised in hellish conditions for our convenience. We made it illegal to record those conditions so we don’t have to look at them. Meat delicious, I deserve it three meals a day because look at my prosperity.
Yeah. It's the usual nonsense habits of people that they will defend to their dying breath
Why does that cow have 3 legs?
They've already started eating her 😞
They couldn't find a real cow out on a pasture, so they had to AI generate it.
That's a dairy cow; you can eat that one without killing it.
I would feel a lot better about it if we treated cattle with existential respect while they gather for our consumption.
But capitalism does not do that to humans so hoping for mad cow respect in the US is about largely remembering about the fatal neurodegenerative disease of cattle.
Just go buy your meat directly from a farmer that only raises a few each year and that lets the cows roam free, it's not impossible to buy meat that's much more ethical, you just have to accept the price that comes with it.
the meat industry put out decades of propaganda during the great depression & world wars to convince the western world to buy meat & dairy. truth is, humans have lived off plant based diets for millennia. ending factory farming is one of the easiest ways to combat climate change & corporations
Fitting slogan i heard at fridays climate strike:
"For the climate, change your diet! Eat! - The! - Rich!"
Now tell the not romanticized portion, where people get to know the average cow is not friendly nor playful towards humans.
Recipes ain't the problem. It's butchering. How do I get the steak out
Just cut away all the bits that aren't steak.
And then draw the rest of the fucking owl.
How does beef taste anyway? I have resolved to never eat it because of my religious upbringing, although I am an atheist now. How does it taste?
The closest analogy that I have found is Ostrich, though that tastes of beef and liver. Venison, aka deer, is much like beef, but with almost no fat, so you have to mix it with a fatty meat to use it as beef, even then there's a richer "beefyness" to the end result.
I wish I had tried an antelope steak, when I had the ability to do so, I suspect that would be closer to beef in taste and fat content upon further research.

Why don't we have a cooking community here?
Carnism is one hell of a drug. Hope you can escape it soon OP. Good luck.
Same for all the others here still trapped in the beliefs of carnism.
