What kind of fucked up culture could think this is acceptable?
At least it is not being grounded up for alternative medicine.
Not sure which is worse. Animals do not have a sense of finity. Every suffering they endure is infinite.
Could we tone down the racism a bit?

Indeed.

LOL nice on the thread name change.
Sorry, I am not too fond of people who abuse animals, and in the Chinese culture this seems to be endemic.

Did you know 8 billion chickens are slaughtered every year in the US? Most of these chickens live their lives in factory farms, never permitted to soar in the skies and see the purple mountain's majesty or amber waves of grain.
The Chinese, with a less meat based diet, kill far less animals, even if they take selfies with stranded polar bears.

Link? The Chinese have so much less meat that they kill far less animals than a country one fifth their population?
Though I guess that depends on your definition of 'far less'.
And pigs are smarter than dogs. Yada Yada. Sucks for them that they're tasty.

I was thinking on a per capita basis. On a gross basis I also doubt it is far less.

The gross shows production vs. consumption, but...meh.

That is production. They probably import the non-beef from Brazil.
If you are going to be an animal in the US, best to be a sheep or goat...provided you avoid College Station, Texas.
Very cool link Hami: http://www.memphismeats.com/
I know we will be there in a few decades. What will happen to all the former livestock is another question.
Also, why is schweinsteigerflesch consumption in Kiwistan so low?
Uruguay, good grief 5-6 million people get through 500,000 tonnes of beef a year, thats like 100 kg per man women or child. :hmm:

Petting zoos. Lots and lots of petting zoos.
Wonder how much electricity it would take to replace all the meat consumption from animals to this? Not only the culturing itself, but also making the nutrients and other requirements to grow the meat.
Also, it'd probably taste horrible.

And that'd put us much closer to the top of the rankings, since Spain is one of the countries with the higher consumption of fish per capita in the whole world, IIRC only Japan consumed more fish per capita than us.

That was off the top of my head. In the EU Spain and Portugal top the stats by a fair margin ahead of everybody else.

Though I guess that depends on your definition of 'far less'.
if you exclude fish and other assorted sea creatures and take it on a per capita basis, it could be true. Well, they are importing lots of pork from Quebec (and elsewhere), but I think they eat much less beef than the average Americans.

Since the US is like the third largest consumer of beef, that isn't saying much.
