"I'm not ok with hunting animals unless we capture them and breed them incessantly to the point where a majority of their species lives in their own feces and stands shoulder to shoulder with its kin waiting until it's fat enough to die for us"

How in the fuck is hunting more cruel than industrial livestock? Would you rather be killed fleeing for your life out in the wild or you and your entire species be born into a prison filled with an inch deep of feces to wait to be eaten?

Your perspective is nonsensical and idiotic.

Edit: btw, if whales were bred in captivity as an industrial source of meat, you can guarantee breeders would artificially select traits effectively genetically engineering them into a new subspecies. There are almost no wild cows, dogs, or chickens anymore because they're near extinction levels. But that's better right?

Weirdly, Austin probably has more 'greenbelts' and parks than most cities. Its famous for shit like Zilker park, but I agree with some other comment here saying the issue is ease of access, theyre all either just hiking parks, or theyre bike/trails that are in gentrified, expensive areas.

I can have an opinion online and so can you. If somone from India thinks I'm a savage for eating a cow so be it and that person is entitled to that opinion and that's fine. The Japanese are savages for continuing to slaughter whales. I can have that opinion and its OK. You're the only one offended here you dummy. I'm not going to watch your video.

See it’s easy to make a half assed argument when you don’t know anything. People all around the world eat different things for different reasons. In India a lot of people don’t eat beef because they consider it a sacred animal. There are vegans who don’t eat any animal products because they consider it cruelty. It’s easy to look at something you don’t understand or like and judge people for it without having any understanding on the topic. It’s hard to look at what others do and try to understand, and I get it, it’s a pain, but if you want to get out of your shell and understand the world a little better you can always do it. Here’s a recent video on eating dolphin meat if you feel comfortable dropping the name calling and doing something productive.

Edit: Also it could be argued that beef isn’t as sustainable as it is touted to be given the amount of methane gas they produce that isn’t managed. But hell, what do I know.

All that being said, I love all kinds of food, but you’ll never get me to eat bugs.

I'm excited for more details about this one.

In this articles and others they never say what she did with them. In one article it said they followed her undercover and saw her show up to pick up the wings, sometimes before the place even opened. Hopefully they fill us in.

This was caught in a mid school year audit and they acted quickly. The person in charge of the audit had been on the job for 10 days. If this had been going on for 19 months (she started working in a "consultant" capacity for the district she had been working for over a decade) where were the mid year audits before? Should have been atleast 1 other mid year audit. Not to mention end year and budgeting for the next year.

The distributor didnt neccesarily need to know the wings weren't something the district used because of bones but its suspicious they didnt notice something was off. The invoices were paid so why would they question it I guess?

Covid happened and kids were not in class but the district was still providing meals. Is this just a covid chaos oversight or is there more to this? Where did the wings go? Did she sell them or did she know someone in with distribution?
