Good. Beef (and I'm sorry, dairy) really need to be cut out of our diets. Cattle are the least sustainable livestock, even when raised in "quality" conditions (free range grass fed). It's so wildly subsidized that it's also the cheapest often.
Frankly there are plenty of alternatives and they will be more prevalent when the industry needs to actually cover cattle costs themselves.
Humans aren’t even supposed to eat much meat at all. As you said, the true cost is reflected in countries that don’t blow taxpayer money on subsidizing traitors.
Yeah. I was confused. Here in Europe, we have absolutely huge subsidies. Where I live, beef is still significantly more expensive than chicken. Mindblowing that it's often the cheapest meat in (I assume) the US. I assume also due to even worse conditions.
Beef is absolutely more expensive than chicken and pork in the states. By a wide margin. Not sure if OP misspoke or meant cheapest option to raise not purchase or what, but beef is not the cheap option in stores.
It's crazy that 1l of milk where i live is between 90c and 1.10 bucks. 1l of oatmilk OATMILK that was made close by is 3.95 it's such a clownworld. I know what goes into owning, raising, feeding and most of all, miking and get the milk tested and carried around to a supplier. I feel like the biggest asshole for low key paying for other people to drink their cheap milk.
