I'm in my 40s and the "rah rah steak!" Folks are dying from cancer and illness. I had to reduce my meat intake.

My tin foil hat believes the lax US laws on meat means it's being pumped with some serious bad shit to keep meat prices from being so high compared to other countries. Not to mention our general health (and lack of affordable healthcare) means many more folks are succumbing to these illnesses.

The bad shit is the way cater is raised in the US. In france an exploitation with let's say 200 beast is considered big. In the us some count thousands... There are reaaly big one in europe but it's a minority compared to the us. This is atrocious and I really hope we all reduce our meat intake.
