Food for thought. Sine we are on the subject of meat. I remember reading several articles online several years ago about a Documentary Movie that went undercover at factory farms and slaughter houses. It showed filthy, gory, cruel, inhumane, violent and super gross conditions that none of us see because is hidden very carefully from the public! I don't want to get into details because it's beyond disturbing and traumatic if I did but in this Documentary Movie they showed it for FREE to audiences on college campuses nationwide the results were surprising. Many meat eaters and even huge Football College players that love to eat meat that were making fun of the movie after they saw it they confessed they had no idea how cows and people (will get into that tragedy next) are treated just so people can eat meat. It grossed them out, disturbed or traumatized them so much they instantly decided to become vegetarian or vegan I'm not kidding The Truth is very shocking and these are statements made from huge hamburger steak loving eating people swore they will never touch or eat it ever again. Interestingly right after this movie came out and all these articles the meat producers and factories banded together lobbied and it's not ILLEGAL to film ANY undercover factory farming or slaughterhouses!!! Hmmmmm food for thought if it's not bad why do they have to hide lobby pass a law to make it illegal to expose or film what's really going on? That alone should make people not want to eat meat if they have to hide everything. With Beyond Meat and plant based products there's no cruelty no mess no stress nothing to hide. If I went to a restaurant and they refused to let me look in the kitchen or hide everything I promise you I'm never going to buy or eat anything from there!
The even worst part is most slaughterhouse and factory farmer workers usually work in very unsafe conditions with huge chainsaw like machines to cut the cow carcass into smaller beef chunks and cuts so they can sell it to grocery stores and hamburger places in fact they end up accidentally cutting off their limbs! That's right we are talking missing fingers, hands, arms, legs even I know it sounds fake but sadly is 100% fact I saw it again on a 60 Minutes or Dateline TV Show report these slaughterhouses or factories are open in areas where people are super poor illiterate uneducated and so these are the only jobs they can get in these areas. They pay is I think minimum wage or very bad basically there's a huge assembly line of cow carcasses on huge hooks rolling down a conveyor belt like set up endlessly and these poor workers stand there very near each other with zero safety anything with huge razor sharp what looks like chainsaws and some like power tools with huge exposed blades whirring super fast their job is to cut each cow carcass as it rolls down the line on huge hooks they all end up cutting off their own limbs because if the way it's set up then they are immediately fired with zero workers comp zero sick leave zero insurance! They interviewed a worker that literally cut off his leg on accident working on the line so most of his left leg was amputated by himself very painfully on the job. They simply fired him on the spot found a replacement and kicked him out! He didn't even have money to get a artificial leg so uses crutches cannot get another job I couldn't even believe what I was watching! This is what they lobby to hide so no undercover cameras can film this or what really happens to the animals is way worse I don't even want to type it out it's that bad as if it can get any worse.
Again with plant based meats none of this happens there is no sorrow pain tragedy nothing is hidden. It's just plants mixed together man!
But if you think about it what is so important or necessary that we even eat a dead animal? Exactly. It's not. What we think we "enjoy" is chewy, salty, textured, fatty, protein flavor and experience. But if you can mimic and duplicate same exact experience, flavor, texture, with none of the gross problems or hidden bad and it became cheaper healthier better same exact taste and satisfaction you can see eventually no one will even care, want to or be interested in eating anything "animal" especially future generations. The result is no more pain, slaughter, animal or human suffering let alone heart attacks and aging faster and tons of other diseases such as diabetes and strokes List goes on forever, environmental and global and climate disasters are not only completely avoided but actually reversed and healed from ending wasteful pollution and factory farming practices. People only "think" they like it love meat but if you think about it it's really the taste, texture, salt, fat and experience it's not that important if it's animal flesh carcass or not.
That's why Beyond Meat is so popular doing so well and expanding there's only positives and beneficial solutions for everyone involved as well as a sustainable clean future with food security and abundance for the entire World to enjoy.
