When you die of a heart attack while in the process of letting cancer ravage your body, you'll still be happy to have in your possession that man card.
And, in actuality, it really doesn't have to be about the increased cancer rates and shit like that. It really should be about the single most precious natural resource on the planet - clean water. It takes approximately 2,500 gallons of water to produce one pound of beef. That's ten ****ing tons. Think about that the next time you have a steak. Ten ****ing tons of water for one pound of beef. But yet, it takes one gallon of water to produce one pound of cricket protein. Global sustainability. With 7,000,000,000 people on the planet, it's downright selfish and morally corrupt to be eating a food source that requires ten ****ing tons of water to produce one pound of food. http://chapul.com/ |

Also, you can't grill up cricket protein and make it taste amazing. |

Reminds me of the resident grousing greenie back in college.
The dorm showers were 1) communal 2) non-heated And he would grouse fortnightly about people taking too long showers and 'wasting' water. I was like 'wasting how?' Rocketing it to Mars? Burying it in a barrel? Retaining it through a high sodium diet? Water is an incredibly durable molecule. Our petty needs might dirty it up for a while, but we have myriad ways to return it to purity, and the earth has exponentially more to do so on it's own. So what if a portion of water is bound up in cow shit for a moment or two? The sun will hit that patty, evaporation will occur, it will rain down somewhere else, circle of life.

So you are saying you don't think a 2 year old steer that is going to market can average drinking 2,000 gallons of water a day?

I'm pretty sure he swore off all three in a separate thread. Although, I'd have to think without red meat and women, he'd at least enjoy a drink from time to time. Maybe not. Guy just gets his rocks off watching Mormon football. Although I doubt he touches himself while watching Chuckie Keaton. Self discipline and all. |

Oh no the math totally works out - The average weight of beef cattle depending on the type ranges around 1000 to 1050 lbs at 24 months old. So for argument sake we'll use the average of 1025 pounds. A gallon weighs ~ 8 pounds. Based on the claims of water consumption to 1 pound of beef at 2,000 per day x 8 lbs = 16,000 pounds intaken daily just in water, not even getting into their food consumption. So it's totally feasible that this would be possible if cows were essentially bovine dialysis machines and constantly drinking and pissing for a majority of the day. A herd of cattle would drown in their collective piss ponds if ever they went grazing on the low plain... Whoever puts this info out there to dissuade people from eating meat does a disservice, and looks like a fool.

Thank you. That does sound good. Just took some beef out of the freezer. Incorporate a little cherry wood and a high-quality bun...and money.
