I don't think people understand how much of food pricing is because of a perverse complex system that ensures profits because we've gotten to post-scarcity on some goods. Like milk. It's only not oversupplied and worthless because we break everything to stop it.

@thoughtpunks yeah dude my version was pretty bleak, i'm glad you are right

i think i need to read more about livestock, i really only knew "birds less bad by a wide margin" and "beef very bad"

i think i only know of dairy farming methods within the beef cycle, this stuff is broadly outside my knowledge

@bigtuffal there's a lot of complexities and the general discourse doesn't lend itself well outside the broadest strokes. It doesn't help that we just assume we'll let the system run like it is now.
