I am a happy meat eater. Just not thrilled with eating anything that spent it's life standing or living in it's own waste. That goes for poultry, fish, beef ect. Veggies are also having their own issues with being nutritionally deficit due to the inability to uptake what they need due to the last 40yrs of forced bad farming practices. I keep using the word "forced" because farmers who don't want to lose their farms haven't had in many cases viable alternatives.
Never thought in a million years with the abundance of food we currently enjoy that's available we'd STILL be stuck in the paradigm of ancient prehistory "the struggle to hunt down enough food to live". Some are going to laugh however, despite the ease of grocery shopping hunting down and acquiring nutrition is still a massive struggle.
Spearing a mastodon vs financially-logistically getting enough (at least minimally) nutritionally varieties of food to stick in your mouth. While the hunting skills have changed they are still substantial. Just more mental than physical.
Ancient humans not only had to bag that beast, they had to butcher it & get it home as predators gathered to snatch it away from them.
I have to figure out how many carrots I have to eat to get the same nutrition a cup of raw carrots provided 40yrs ago. One bag? Two? Plus can I pay for them?
Same with every other veggie & fruit. Then figure out my own biology & learn which forms of what are more nutritionally bioavailable in my closed little system.
Sounds a bit like making my own problems or diving too micro into just eating but if you have a physically demanding job eating things that don't serve you becomes a immediate liability by 1pm daily. People with less physically demanding jobs have the same problem it's just not as blatantly & starkly apparent, it creeps up tho.
It cracks me up the "struggle" has only changed, but not vanished.
