    Burger King should really try to nail down making a regular burger that doesn't absolutely suck instead of coming out with a new "wacky" menu every three months

    I don't care how much of a foodie you are, if you didn't source the burger yourself you need to insist that they cook the bun until there's no pink left. That's basic food safety.

    and that was the last anyone saw of ol' peen, some say that his search for a single solitary fuck goes on to this very day and that if you listen closely at the very break of day you can still hear him softly calling "fuck those people for real" in the early morning breeze.

    Assuming they can make it taste good I'd eat things made with insect protein. But I can't deal with whole bugs. And yes that includes shrimp, prawns, crabs, lobsters, etc which I detest.

    I am pro insect consumption and lab meat, etc, but it's worth noting that you absolutely can raise all species of meat-animal in environmentally sustainable and carbon neutral or negative ways, and indeed many small farms do this. However, it's more expensive and less productive, so industrialists use factory farming techniques instead.

    Even cows! A huge portion of cow-carbon comes from the fact that we feed them foods that cause them to produce a lot of methane. A better diet (and some diet supplements) can eliminate the vast majority of methane production, and smart agriculture and pasture rotation lets you take care of the rest. I saw a feature on it...somewhere, once. One of Dave Chang's shows maybe. Really interesting stuff!

    Obviously much more time intensive, costly, and doesn't scale up to the levels industrialists demand for maximum profit (even though this produces massive amounts of waste).

    Very much so! It sounds crazy but it's true. Cow farts are a huge problem and an easily controllable one. In a world where it seems like we're determined to do as little as possible about global warming, feeding cows seaweed is one of the cheapest things you can shout about at your next climate protest.

    Also just in general: there's probably a local butcher in your area, or a halal market, or both. Good stuff there.

    While this is true, there is not sufficient land for meat production on the Earth to meet the world’s current demand using these techniques. It is one of the reasons why replacing industrially produced beef with meatless alternatives, which require less resources and far less land, are important.

    The alternative, of course, is to decrease demand by choosing to eat less meat.

    I often wonder how much we would actually have to decrease demand if you accounted for how much meat is "wasted" in the whole process.

    But also its more that people need to be more flexible about what kind of beef you eat and how you cook it. A steak every meal is not remotely sustainable.

    Surface of the sun is the appropriate temperature to serve hot drinks. People who like it cooler can let them cool down, people like myself who enjoy drinks at the correct temperature can't add our own heat.

    Apparently extreme temperatures make coffee brew faster. Which is how McDonalds ended up giving a woman 3rd degree burns when it spilled.
