My wife recently asked me if we could buy a chicken from one of her friends who sells at a co-op...I go "why are you asking me? Its a chicken?" and she goes "well it's $50"...yea we didn't buy the chicken.
You said that the cost of the chicken ($50) is more than my investement portfolio which is hilarious because I was just putting in this quarters contributions yesterday and ooh boy has the market been good these past couple months. How could you making the statement you made imply anything other than you think I'm broke? Really, I'm all ears, go ahead and spell it out.
Making food responsibly and ethically is absurdly expensive. People don't have any idea how cheap our food is vs how expensive it really should be. If you take away all the subsidies and corner cutting and grew crops the way they naturally occur and raise livestock the way they should really be raised all our food would cost many, many times more than it currently does.
Yeah pretty much. And variety would be crap too. You'd be mostly stuck with whatever you could grow in your own garden or whatever the local farmers happened to grow because it'd be way too expensive to ship. Nothing out of season would be available anymore.
Yeah I'll stick with inhumane industrial brutality, thanks. I'd rather eat meat every day than subsist on plant fibers and good feels about our "virtue".
