>What they don’t say, is that he was military, Before, during and after.
That's not true.

I was in high school in the 90s and the comics were the only part of the paper I read. It still had Peanuts at least through 94/95 ish.

Because that kind of marbling has a lot to do with how they are raised. And there's also a prestige to it. Having tried it a couple times myself I would much rather pay $200/lb as a rare treat than $50/lb for a lab grown approximation. At that price I'd rather go for tomahawk.
Idk maybe the gimmick might work. There's a place near me that sells "American wagyu" burgers for like $15 and they are doing pretty well.

And when he asked Kurt to pay him back after Kurt hit it big, Cobain laughed at him. Which is one of the things that made me think Kurt Cobain was an asshole.

1.2 million people disappear from our country evry year. Crime is almost non-existent and no one goes hungry in this heavily policed state. That was until their secret came out... this is the story of how the world came to know.

I've never thought of slaughterhouses as being vertical operations. I didn't know that that was even possible, what is the purpose? Do they have a pulley system or something that they utilize all that upwards space for?

He was only in the military after.

I'm going to ignore the snide tone of your comment and simply assure you that, yes, I am familiar with the Peanuts character. I simply didn't expect high schoolers in the 90's to be that aware of a newspaper comic strip.

>He got teased and called "Pigpen" which, in fairness, was remarkably clever for high schoolers in the 90's.
You know that Pigpen was the name of a Peanuts/Charlie Brown character since like the 50's...right?

The thing that pisses me off is that you CAN sustainably and morally farm meat, but these companies don't do it because its not as profitable

It's a quote from the Monty Python sketch that the previous commenter was referencing.

I can't disagree with any of that. However, like I said, there's other issues than price. I've tried a lot of the meat substitutes (because honestly, I'd love to see less animals killed) and none of them get the flavor AND texture down. Some come close to one or the other, but none hit the mark on both.

Wish we'd quit pushing for fucking bugs and put more into lab meat.

"I love the smell of bacon in the morning!"
1.2 million seems to be a low number for a facility like this though, that's roughly 3200 a day,123 per floor.

Keep in mind that plant-based meats are not the same thing as vegan options, but even for those the prices are coming down. There's a lot of plant-based foods that are plenty cheaper such as beans, lentils, etc.
It's also worth mentioning that the reason meat is so cheap is because of large amounts of subsidies. Without those, plant-based meats would already be substantially cheaper

It’s a fraternity, you can just come in to lodge and talk with people about a petition.

Same. The texture and taste of meat is just.. everything. I'm all for a balanced diet with fruits, veggies, carbs, but a steak or some good pork bbq.. life.

Once they get lab grown meat to have the same flavor and texture of normal meat, and the price is about the same, I'll go vegan no problem.
But none of the current vegan options have the same flavor or texture currently, and a lot of them cost more than meat does so yeah, I'm not switching any time soon.
Downvotes? Seriously? You vegans can't even acknowledge that your meat substitutes don't taste and feel like meat? This is why people shit on veganism.
