@jeremycherfas without prehistoric ancestors’ consumption of meat, we wouldn’t have the brains to have ethical issues with food, or this discussion…
@cn Good point, well made. But we’ve outgrown those petty needs, haven’t we? Except for the palaeo eaters, who are, well, palaeolithic, right?
@jeremycherfas is one really paleo if one isn't using an atlatl and chasing the next meal down on the savannah? 😬
@jeremycherfas I’d like to give up‡ cow–based produce, since that’s amongst the least resource–efficient ways of producing food; plus beef is possibly something that I’m starting to disagree with maxillofacially (‡ reduce consumption of)
@jeremycherfas efficiencies of land area, water use and such?
Milk substitution with say almond–based fluid has a high water cost too?
@cn Yes. The rot sets in when you finish them in feedlots. Dairy cows eating grass are good too, though smaller units and less trucking can help too.
@cn Milk substitution is environmentally indefensible.
@cn There were two on grass fed beef. I need to do a much better job of surfacing things. One was about freezing good beef, the other more directly about grass fed.
