    Small Beef Farmers have an opportunity here to transition into Wagyu style luxurifucation of their products as Synthbeef becomes the affordability option and wins the “close enough” award on taste.

    Turn a real steak dinner back into being that rich people shit people used to think of it as and hype the free range raising of all the beef cattle and voila! Industry saved, outside the factory farms anyways.

    I was born in the 80s. I couldn’t tell you the last time I had a burger, but it was months ago. I just bought a pound of ground beef for tacos today, and it’s been the first time I’ve bought beef in I don’t know how long. I lean heavily towards breads, dairy, and plant based proteins just because in my area they are cheaper and more readily available anywhere I go. They also tend to be lighter meals, which is another thing I look for. I don’t need to roll away from the table after every meal. Beef means burgers, or steaks, or something big. I don’t know if I can name a light beef entree. I guess some Chinese food would count, but even then, I’m going with chicken or pork.
