Beef prices should go up, along with all meat prices, to reflect their ecosystemic toll. The problem is basic staples are also expensive.

yeah stop the corn and soybean subsidies and actually charge ranchers for letting their cattle graze on federal land and then the price will reflect what the real price of meat is.

That's how we got the shit with Cliven Bundy a while back. Fucking right wingers whine when they don't get free money for nothing and have to pay for the externalities their actions create.

Why is meat so much cheaper here in east asia anyway? I can get tenderloin for ~6USD/lb.

Absolutely this. Essential food should not be expensive. Meat, especially red meat, should be quite expensive and something you only eat rarely

We should all ask for things that benefit the whole even if they would be detrimental to our individual selves.

I applaud my comrade
