[...] I asked the man behind the counter if the Steak Nuggets were such a hasty retreat because they were unpopular with his diners. He said the following: “Well, we were one of the last stores to have those things, because nobody bought ’em.”

No, I thought they ate butterflies and sunshine.

Conversion of rain forest to grazing land has been a sickening thing to watch for the past 40 years - it's got an up-front massive incentive through sale of the old growth hardwoods, then they turn around and make residual continuing income off of the grazing instead of letting the forest regrow.

But, then again, that's pretty much what happened to most of the continental US's forests in the 1800s. We're starting to replant commercial tree farms, but those are monoculture biodiversity deserts.
