Yes, I think almost everyone knows that about wings? That's kinda the joke.

Anyway, yes, I understand people might be butthurt to learn that fast food has misleading labeling. Not sure what they expect of an industry that used pink slime, however. It could be they have a legitimate complaint, but if people are shocked to find out they have some strange components being put in their low-cost mystery meat....they might not want to look too closely at a lot of things consumed without too much thought.

Gelatin anyone? 🤣

It is so wild to think that because of idiotic Americans going by Worthington's Law that we even know who this asshole is. Same goes for his father.

Both are total idiot failsons, but because they have money, morons feel their opinions are worthwhile.

LOL, as if that would have changed right wing behavior. Sure, they would have gladly removed Clinton, for "reasons of principle" (fucking LOL) and then went right on to be as awful as always.

They were trying to get Clinton pretty much all of the 90s and were ecstatic that they got a....stain on a dress. Fucking embarrassing.

Nixon was surpassed by Iran/Contra.

Ronnie Raygun had the largest number in history (138) for the number of people in an administration that were investigated, indicted or convicted. And the conservatives spent most of the 90s and beyond agitating to have stuff named after him, and to put that asshole on our money and on Mt. Rushmore...

They would have had the country built shrines to the guy if they had their way. They have zero shame.

Goose: Protect them from what, Donald?

That's fantastic to hear (I've been vegetarian for 20+ years. I still eat eggs and dairy but in moderation), but I'm looking beyond the anecdotal and more at the structural issues. We have 8 states that have outlawed selling cultured meat, so from a policy standpoint, that's certainly problematic.

Also, when you see projections of per capita meat consumption, it doesn't seem like it's going down or even flatlining, but going up. If that remains true, but the focus is only on things like more solar/wind and using EVs, we still have a problem.

Unfortunately the discussion about what is on people's plate is something so triggering and so emotional for a certain type of individual (probably in the majority still at this point - I'll see people that are progressive as hell, and yet still, especially the males, falling for gender-coded nonsense about the value of eating meat and boasting about it.)

Attempts at rational conversations can easily be diverted into stupid cul-de-sacs by the proteinmaxxers and the manosphere nonsense (not eating meat is frequently discussed as something for women or for limp-wristed men), or even more absurdly the conspiracy theory nonsense: "you'll own nothing and be happy" - there are a lot of those prone to conspiracy theories that believe any rational discussion about climate and what's on your plate mean that you are falling for the Davos set wanting you to live in a shoe box and eat bugs, apparently.

I realize there are lots of systemic things involved - usually this gets turned around on consumers as if all they need to do is properly separate their recycling and in their consumption, choose companies that are perfomatively greenwashing things.

But one thing individuals could do that would absolutely make a huge difference is to vastly curtail their intake of meat and dairy. In discussions like this, it always seems like people walk on eggshells around food, or not even discuss food at all, but it's the elephant in the room...

In fact, we have several states running the exact opposite direction of a solution when they ban cultured meat...

I know people are allergic to Reddit, so here is the image:

Yeah. It's weird how some of these industries fly into a panic and seek to suppress and mount campaigns against something that is an alternative, often a better alternative in many ways.

They get all litigious over calling something "milk" if it's not dairy. They preemptively get states to outlaw what is likely one of the only serious ways to address global warming: cultured meat. Which is just bonkers - it'd be like Big Carbon getting states to simply outlaw wind and solar preemptively. Imagine, getting prison time for selling cultured meat.

These industries all have assets and the knowledge to get things onto shelves already; they could simply invest in the future as well.

He never got over having mashed potatoes on his head.

I want it as tall as the one from Spinal Tap so that little people can urinate on the top of it.

I want them to tell donnie they are building it, then have it come out like Spinal Tap's Stonehenge prop.
