I only want my meat to be raised by a cow on a feedlot while covered in manure and constantly smelling so awful, I would gag if I ever went. Then I want that cow's greatest mental stimulation to be the one time he climbed on top of the 1 meter pile of manure and could see further than any other cow, and then proceed to stick his head back into the giant trough of corn that's been pre-mixed with antibiotics because corn is not a natural food source for cows. That's what meat is supposed to be, as god intended.
Let's drink swill milk [Wikipedia] to that.
Aaahhh the good ol' 1850 to which the Republican party surely will return us by next year where rich assholes can destroy the world for an extra dollar
What the absolute fuck.
sounds like the people owning these 'farms' actively try their hardest with all their might to be as evil as possible
Thank goodness we're firing all those wasteful government bureaucrats, who were adding red tape and keeping businesses from innovating. Soon things will be great again, like in the 1850...
Just an FYI: In Florida (at least) a similar bill was passed not because of any concerns about lab-grown meat but because loads and loads of rich people keep small amounts of cattle on their property which gives them massive property tax breaks (money that most of these counties desperately need). There's literally over a million cows living like cow kings in Florida.
I get what you're saying about factory farms but I just wanted to point out the truth: While those conditions are common for other farm animals I'm not aware of it being that common for cows (in the US) 🤷
As far as I know the factory farms that are like that are all related to poultry and swine (the people that run them).
While cows are not factory farmed at the same rate as other farm animals, over 70% are raised in factory farms (in the US).
