Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated.

question, how come beef is so cheap it's it takes so much resources?
if it's just subsidies, then we should get rid of them
Polluting is a bit different from taking resources. The industry should be more regulated, which would maybe convert the damage made to the environment into an increased price of beef.
Its cheap if you forget that part of the price is the habitability of the planet.
And beef isnt so cheap around here, i guess it depends on where you live.
The resources required are themselves cheap.
Well water is nearly free, food can be cheap for a farmer it's corn and grass which they can grow, or a corn / molassas mix which is pretty cheap to buy. If they birth the cow, there's special costs and then there's vet/medicine bills. A farmer's time is the ultimate cheap thing because they more or less ignore it in pricing. The butcher's price/time isn't inconsequential.
The environmental issues don't cost them anything unless we tax it.
Some forms of beef are pretty cheap but not all.
Hamburger is cheap. filet is $15-$25/lb. 4 decent 1.5 inch-thick steaks come to about $100 wholesale.
The meat from the cow is about $3000 after processing.
American meat is full of poison and is pretty disgusting.
which is crazy, because EU meat is basically the same price but much better quality.
Steroids.
