Warning NSFW or kids. This is graphic, and disturbing. While it likely does not represent the efforts of most ethical and humane animal farmers, it is unfortunately the norm, globally and likely for most of the food supply chain that leads to our groceries and restaurants. This is my personal year to work on reduction in my animal-sourced protein and Im taking cues from vegans and others to do it reasonably and mindfully, while not completely giving up my burgers and wings. By the way, for my boomer friends, its not too late for us. There is empirical evidence that even in our middle age, a reduction of 75% of animal based protein has real impact on longevity... meaning in plain English, we can live longer, healthier lives. And avoid this horrific scene in the process. What we do impacts our children. Notwithstanding the hormones, antibiotics and other awful things in the mainstream meat supply chain, this is just wrong on so many levels. If ethically handled animal supply was 100% more expensive than normal --- we would find ways around it, perhaps healthier and more humane ways. My personal goal is to wind down animal-based protein in my diet by 75% this year, in a sustainable, non-extreme way. Ping me if you want to share tips and techniques and substitutions that arent soy and GMO based, and are however in the normal lifestyle category.
