"...who are the 12% of people consuming half of all beef in the US?"

Me. It was me.

Holy cow (pun intended), I am amazed at how much people gripe about the "environmental dangers" of beef. Is anyone actually buying into this?

It's God's fault for making beef taste so good!

I won't eat seafood because if God wanted us to eat it, he would have made it taste like beef.

I'm not exactly sure how to interpret those statistics, but I would gather that most of the other 88% consuming the other 50% of the beef don't really want to give it up.

I eat beef, but just not every day. I like steaks, but they are pricey. I like hamburgers, but I don't want to get any fatter than I already am. I mostly consume chicken and turkey I guess.

First 4 words of the study 'Concern for the environment'

Nope. BS. Let's have the College of Ag at A&M look at this and I'll guarantee different conclusions.

Agenda driven BS.

Whataburger has a pretty diverse clientele and I doubt everyone else outside the article demographic is eating chicken strips.

White privilege is the problem. We need whites to stop killing the planet. Less meat means less CO2.

We needs to have a serious conversation about the old-growth forests being destroyed by truffle harvests.

Turkey is alright if it's smoked or deep fried. As far as chicken,

Meats that taste better than chicken:

Beef
Pork
Goat
Lamb
Goose
Turkey
Pheasant
Quail
Dove
Duck
Freshwater fish
Saltwater fish
Frog
Venison
Bison
Elk
Antelope
Dog
Cat
Bear
Rabbit
Rattlesnake
Raccoon
Squirrel
Ostrich
Alpaca
Moose
Alligator

I'm sure there's quite a few others as well.

Most people that eat beef in the form of steak or other meals in which they actually cook the beef themselves, don't consume a ton of beef.

The 12% sounds like those that eat fast food burgers as a staple of their diet.

Beef will never be banned; but if the elites get their way, it will be limited to them and only them.

The rest of us will be told to eat bugs.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

dude, I'm not a big fan of chicken either but come on


And do you even know how to cook moose? Pro tip. Season the steaks heavily. Then place in burlap sack. Season the sack and then pour bbq sauce all over it. Smoke the steaks in the sack for 2-3 hours. Open sack, discard the moose steaks. Eat sack.

The beef industry just needs to hire another celebrity spokesperson like Cybill Shepherd again, one who tries to avoid red meat.

For poultry, I'm a big fan of quail. Quail is what chicken wished it tasted like.

And why don't Americans eat more goat? Goat is tasty, filling, and a lot cheaper than beef. If you like beef and you like lamb, you're certain to like goat.

So predictable. This article is about "white man bad, and beef bad." No mention at all about how terrible carbs and soy is for health, but how much beef is.
Quote:
"Men and people between the ages of 50 and 65 were more likely to be in what the researchers dubbed as "disproportionate beef eaters"

White people were among those more likely to eat more beef, compared with other racial and ethnic groups

There's this connection between meat consumption and masculinity,"

Rose says it's critical for educational programs to try to reach disproportionate beef eaters, since changing their diets will have the most impact.

And the last quote, "We may like the cheap price of beef, but we're paying a lot more for it than we realize."

It will be a suggestion at first, and then authoritarian leftists will force the issue. These people are evil and miserable.
