Food prices are dropping across the board, but we have these companies wanting to “rightsize supply,” a PR-friendly way of saying “produce less food to make it more expensive again.”
Given this seems to be impacting meat producers the most, you have to wonder if there may be some long-term trends appearing they’re keeping their heads in the sand about.
I should add I do eat meat, but wouldn’t in a million years buy meat from Butterball, Cargill, Tyson, or the like.
I eat meat, but not all the time. Left to my own devices, it’s maybe a monthly/biweekly thing. I tend to avoid poultry.
I think they’re are good moral and financial reasons for avoiding meat, but I mostly just like my carbs and veggies.
All that meat three times a day stuff that I grew up on is just too much. I don’t honestly think the body is built for that.
Vegetarianism is about as normalized as not and I’m sure that has an effect on our appetites as a society.
Totally agree. I don’t see myself ever being fully vegetarian, but I’ve decreased my meat consumption significantly over the years, and really prefer vegetarian meals sometimes. Been learning to cook with seitan and tempeh
