Did you know that 12% of the American population commits 50% of all beef eatings?
Sorry but those numbers line up too well not to make this joke.
Omg what a double whammy :'D
Those below the age of 29 and above the age of 66 were least likely to eat large amounts of beef. Rose said this indicated that the younger generation might be more interested in mitigating the effects of climate change.
I think the reason is probably that beef is more expensive and they can't afford it.
Also, the number of people who eat beef in mixed dishes shows there's probably a huge market for Impossible Burgers. Mixing it into spicy things will disguise the flavor, though Impossible is barely distinguishable from real beef.
I actually prefer cooking with Impossible meat instead of ground beef because the texture is more consistent and it makes a beautiful fond.
What’s a “fond?”
EDIT: Oh, never mind, I looked it up…the crispy bits left in the pan after cooking the main portion. Yum!
Yep! Take the food out of the pan, add some red wine and, baby, you’ve got a pan sauce.
Til what fond is, thank you!
The future is vegan. ✊
I wish. Plant-based, maybe.
“We focused on beef because of its impact on the environment, and because it’s high in saturated fat, which is not good for your health,” said the study’s corresponding and senior author
that's not true it's because Americans only understand things if you put it in the context of burgers/day
I know you are joking, but I'd imagine most people don't know how absolutely massive the CO2 emissions for beef are compared to everything else.
I’m 1 burger today. How are you?
I'm by no means vegan (hi from All) but one thing I've managed to change in my diet is to eat less beef. It used to be my default, now I probably have it at most once a week. Glad to not be counted amongst the 12% in this case
Why aren't you vegan?
Probably lack of willpower and commitment.
I've internalized the idea that meat doesn't have to be the "star" of a meal and I'm trying to follow the spirit of "if you don't eat meat one day a week that's 14% less meat overall".
(yes this mainly addresses vegetarianism and not veganism, sorry about that)
FWIW, my favorite breakfast burritos in my neighborhood are vegan so I got that going for me ;)
🥱
Watch Dominion. If you can't or won't, you can conclude you are depending on your denial to keep your shit together. That's not a good place to be.
Once you make an emotional connection with the facts that you already know but won't allow yourself to process, it doesn't take any "willpower" or "commitment" not to harm intelligent creatures. How much willpower does it take you not to own slaves, not to run over people in the street? Is there a chance your commitment to not stealing and selling children is going to waver?
How much is it in olympic pools?
