Small Beef Farmers have an opportunity here to transition into Wagyu style luxurifucation of their products as Synthbeef becomes the affordability option and wins the “close enough” award on taste.
Turn a real steak dinner back into being that rich people shit people used to think of it as and hype the free range raising of all the beef cattle and voila! Industry saved, outside the factory farms anyways.

Good. Beef (and I’m sorry, dairy) really need to be cut out of our diets. Cattle are the least sustainable livestock, even when raised in “quality” conditions (free range grass fed). It’s so wildly subsidized that it’s also the cheapest often.
Frankly there are plenty of alternatives and they will be more prevalent when the industry needs to actually cover cattle costs themselves.

Beef the cheapest option? Are you from the USA? Because over here beef is the most expensive. Chicken and pork are way cheaper.

It’s crazy that 1l of milk where i live is between 90c and 1.10 bucks. 1l of oatmilk OATMILK that was made close by is 3.95 it’s such a clownworld. I know what goes into owning, raising, feeding and most of all, miking and get the milk tested and carried around to a supplier. I feel like the biggest asshole for low key paying for other people to drink their cheap milk.

cattle were likely the first livestock, and have been sustainable for thousands of years. cattle aren’t the problem.
