    “If somebody wants to eat that stuff, they’re welcome to it — they’re just not gonna find it in Nebraska grocery stores.”

    So they are not, in fact, “welcome to it”.

    If only people would admit to themselves just how “adulterated” most corporate farm meat is these days. Hormones. Antibiotics. Cannibalism.

    It’s got chemicals, and it’s made with dihydrogen monoxide, and cells and dna and proteins and all the sciency shit you won’t find in all-natural grass-fed beef.

      I like my steak made of two things alone: Grit and Patriotism. Just like God intended.

      Ah the fearmongering when red meat is likely to give you cancer.

      The research shows that plant-based meat is healthier.

      Plant-based ingredients are a source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, which all have health benefits. Furthermore, research indicates that plant-based diets can be beneficial for weight management, diabetes, and the microbiome. It also suggests that they may help prevent various health issues, such as hypertension and cardiovascular disease.

      Additionally, official organizations, including the World Health Organization (WHO)Trusted Source, are concerned about carcinogens in red and processed meats that may increase cancer risk. The American Heart Association (AHA)Trusted Source advises that eating more plant protein instead of meat may improve heart health.

      However, some plant-based products contain fillers and added sodium and may be high in saturated fats. In addition, although some manufacturers add vitamin B12 — which is essential for the body — to their products, others do not, which makes plant-based meats inferior in this regard. Plant-based meats may also have less zinc and other minerals than regular meat.

        The article’s not about plant-based “meat”, though. That’s the whole reason I read it b/c I buy a metric crap ton of Beyond/Impossible products and figured my stupid red state won’ t be far behind with similar BS legislation.

        This is more like the Florida ban which is a handout to cattle farms.

    I’ve always considered factory farmed meat to be pretty adulterated and unproven. Yall should ban that too.
