Why do people still eat beef when we know it's terrible for Earth?

  It’s nutritious. Instead of carefully observing some diet you can eat some beef and buckwheat or cabbage or beans, and you’re good.

  That said, I eat meat so rarely that my relatives worry, mainly because it takes some time to cook if you boil it, and I’m lazy and unorganized, and frying it has the potential of, eh, leaving the kitchen for 5 minutes which turn out to be half an hour and returning for the smell.

  Other than that people can’t care about every problem at once.

  Dumb fucks who fall for propaganda on every platform.

    I’m a native whose culture have hunted and eaten meat for millennia, what propaganda were my ancient ancestors being shown?

      What does what your ancestors did have to do with what we now know about modern factory farming? The question was about still eating beef despite what we know today, what does that have to do with your ancestors? Is your comment not the very definition of a strawman?

  Because my partners are picky eaters and I literally cannot get them to even try vegetarian meals. If it doesn’t have beef, pork, or chicken then they won’t touch it. >_<

  Its a cultural thing for my wife and her family. Pretty much every meal she learned to cook when she was a beef meal.
