    Why do people eat food they know isn’t good for their health? Why do people continue to buy products from companies that have proven to only sell bad products or engage in scumbag practices?

    They all have the same answer.

    I eat beef (occasionally) due to its excellent flavor, versatility in cuisine, and high complex protein density.

    Cost. I mainly eat rice. But I’ll take meat when I can get it. Chicken, beef, mongolian wookie meat. Doesn’t matter. Humans are omnivorous. We require protein to function.

    I have made a pottage of carrots, potatoes, onions, and sweet potatoes today. It’s all about cost for me.

    Because it tastes good and because people are so far removed from where their food comes from. Why eat vegetables that use illegal immigrants as workers and are treated harshly?

    Because they’re lazy and comfortable and stupid and they don’t give a shit about anything.

    Eating beef (or any meat for that matter) isn’t harmful but “excessive consumption” of “industrially produced meat” is. And you shouldn’t cut out meat from your diet — our bodies need those nutrients.

    Because it’s a damn good source of creatine and protein. And it tastes good.

      I’m a native whose culture have hunted and eaten meat for millennia, what propaganda were my ancient ancestors being shown?

        What does what your ancestors did have to do with what we now know about modern factory farming? The question was about still eating beef despite what we know today, what does that have to do with your ancestors? Is your comment not the very definition of a strawman?
