I shouldn't read the internet so soon after waking. It only pisses me off.

Fuck that vegan moral superiority bullshit. There's something delightfully evil about knowing that in order to sustain large crops of grains you end up with a lot of dead field mice. Oh, I am so going to use that line on the next self righteous vegan who tries to make me feel guilty for eating meat.

Thankfully my friends who are vegetarian/vegan/whatever who are not militant about their choices and don't feel the need to run around trying to guilt others into adopting their behaviour. I will kindly eat their share of the world's meat so they won't have to. Everyone wins!

Yeah, you've got to put food away for the winter.
But hey, if we paid people to harvest grain then that would at least make more jobs. Hmm.

Heh.

It would also make more vegetarians, since not everyone could afford the beef anyway...

It would probably go back to having beef once or twice a week, as opposed to every day.

Hundreds of years ago, I think, most people had beef at most once a month. It was the middle class that ate beef once or twice a week.

I was thinking about what I knew of the history of my father's family. They raised cattle, corn and cotton mostly, from the time when Texas was opened up to land grabs.

Yeah, that's a sort of a special case, because people were allowed to have a pretty large amount of land for free. Your average person can't do that, and in order to raise enough free-range, pasturing cows to eat beef twice a week, you need a good bit of land.
