We talking about Tyson dumping 18.5 billion gallons of contaminated wastewater in 2022?

This toxic stew includes animal parts and byproducts like blood and feces, pathogens like E. coli and Enterococcus, and nitrogen and phosphorus that can deplete oxygen in bodies of water.

You don't get to the top without killing more animals each year than the total number of humans that have ever existed ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜ค

industrializing meat production should have always been banned - we should just have allowed livestock in cities

Oh yikes, zoonotic pathogens rejoice! We can barely deal with our own poop not making other humans sick.

Fuck meat eaters unironically, your precious (inhumane and disgusting) meat farms have absolutely fucked the environment. Thanks for that

[โ€“] Wooki@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Praise the lord.

Fuck all humans for breeding to the point where meat farming is necessary. Eating animals isn't the problem, it's the SCALE at which we do it. Put blame where it's due

Factory farming is extremely cost-efficient, so I don't think the free market would give you anything else regardless of how many people there are. Laws and environment tax would.

Lab grown meat is more efficient, but some place are already outlawing it before it'seven available commercially... So I'm not too sure about the direction we're going.

[โ€“] pingveno@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago

It will be more efficient eventually, just not yet. The technology isn't mature yet. But as you've noted, those "pro-free market" Floridians and Alabamans want to ban it, because global elites and eating bugs or something.

[โ€“] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 months ago

Relax, even those places will turn around when it becomes commercially available and cheaper than regular meat.

It is nothing but a political statement to draw in conservatives.

[โ€“] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

BS, it's not necessary at all

True, humanity is a goddamn cancer Iโ€™m glad you understand

Jokes aside, your opinion is bullshit. Meat is not a requirement it is a PREFERENCE
