But the bigger issue is the amount of environmental destruction beef farming has on the planet. Why don’t we stop that instead?
But it does reduce the profitability of beef. Thus reducing operations and preventing more carbon.
Less people would buy beef if the prices increased thus the supply will follow :)
Apple doesn’t have much control of that.
Anyone that buys cow products has control of it
But then, if it depends on customers to collectively stop buying something, we’re doomed already.
One less animal product consumer prevents the deaths of many animals. You’re using the all or nothing fallacy.
Have you tried beyond burgers they taste just like the real thing and so humanity can skip the cruelty of lining cows in a narrow chute and slaughtering them unceremoniously.
Research says red meat isn’t for your heart health
Red meat is also a class A2 carcinogen byw.
Same goes for processed plant based products if you want healthy tasty meals there’s plenty of whole food planted based recipes out there for you to try.
Ever heard of plants?
Well vegans do it, so it must be available enough
soylent would like to have a word.
I get like half my calories from it
it will probably be a year before I get around to that
but I'll let you know
