I love how humans try their hardest to cut down on the amount of destruction they cause only for other humans to villainize and tear them down at every turn.
I’ve been watching the tech to make actual meat from cell lines emerge with some optimism- it promises to make it possible for us to have meat in our diets without all the greenhouse gases and feedlots and the like- but it also threatens to consolidate the protein industry into even fewer corporate hands if it’s not well-regulated.
The meat industry is honestly pretty awful (environmentally, politically, ethically, etc.) and I find myself rooting for the plucky young frankenmonsters that might come along and knock them down even though I’m pretty sure they’ll be worse if they’re not well regulated from the start.
I like meat too, but this is silly. Just had roast chicken yesterday. I also have a freezer with two door shelves lined with tubes of Impossible Sausage. It’s a pretty damn good “sausage”, and without those hard/random bits of gristle you’ll encounter with the real thing. Think there’s some Quorn chicken nuggets in there too. Just buy as you like.
And soy was a lovely mitigator for menopausal hot flashes. Dosed myself with soy on the daily for those weeks, no flashes (awful random surges of heat, head to toes, such that you sweat into your hair, behind your knees, awful.) Miss a day, hot flashes. Although, when you think on it, this fits with Florida, really. Fuck women’s health, amiright?
No, they’re very much not allowed to fuck everything else. They are allowed to fuck one thing in very specific circumstances (age not being one of them)
The same people believed margarine was a grave socialist (iirc) threat to the country and made the production and sale of that a felony. I think around a century ago. Something, something, those who neglect to learn history, something something…
They probably have their identities tied to meat consumption. That’s also a reason for the climate denialism. I recently learned about petro-masculinity and it seems very plausible to me.
They’re actually setting up the board with some big criminal penalties for selling it. It’ll have a cross state freezing effect on the vendors as a whole and transportation through states. They’re going full drug war on it. I didn’t expect their need for cattle farmer votes to be so acute.
Jacksonville is actually a very busy port but mostly for roll on/roll off (cars). Still, I think that having states that will put you in jail for selling or manufacturing products might hamper your ability to do interstate business and maintain warehouses for your grocery stores.
Yeah, florida kinda the least relevant state for shipping when push comes to shove. Stuff is shipped into florida, but not much is shipped out of florida.
