Richardhead | 2,813 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Cows. Fuckers keep farting and pissing off AOC. I also like chicken meat more than cow meat. I could also just replace the cow meat with bison meat. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,929 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Cows. While beef taste nice, fine and all that, there's just more negatives to it from both the cow being alive, to what they produce(waste to edible stuff) it's an easy choice. Chicken may have less flavor to it, but it's also far easier to use in a lot more dishes for more flavors, is healthier by far, take up far less room, produce more useful good with eggs, and their farts don't toot holes into the atmosphere either. As he said above, you can replace cow with something similar like bison etc if you had to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cows also make milk, butter, ghee, yoghurt, cream, sour cream, cheese, leather jackets, and manure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorEncore | 3,690 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I love me a good steak, but cow ranching has been definitively shown to be a huge problem for the environment. I'd be willing to give up beef so my children can inherit an earth that's not an absolute wasteland. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel_Doyce | 470 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I've been doing my best to take care of the cow problem In all seriousness, don't believe the misinformation about cow farts destroying the planet. It's like the policymakers banning plastic straws based on a 9 year old's faulty science project 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeevan | 8,908 Events Helper · Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Both are tasty.......so I wouldn't kill either......Nothing like a Mid Rare steak, a baked tater with sour cream, butter and cheese. But then on the other side of it, you gots the fried chicken........Who wouldn't like some nice fried eggs for breakfast? I mean, both of these animals are delicious equally Edit: Oh ya, chicken parm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulpa | 3,488 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Cows. I need to cut red meat out of my diet, and they just stand there, tempting me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brickman | 3,977 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Cow. I could easily give up steaks if I had to, even though I do love a good steak. I don't really drink milk anymore or could use a substitute if I wanted to, same goes with any of the products milk can make like butter etc. I just love chicken meals more like fried chicken, chicken parma, scrambled eggs and omelette. Also, beef is getting really expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptOut | 8,879 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I'd only do it if I could PERSONALLY dispatch the cows myself. Mano-a-cattle. Wrassle them cows in the dirt, either me or them. Sometimes I type things and then press submit and I have no idea why. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strikezone1 | 154 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Cows. Red meat is tasty but I try to minimize my consumption of it. I also prefer almond milk to regular milk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EPA's website says 10% from all agricultural production, of which livestock is just a small part and includes much more than cows. Still, I'll have some chicken later to give the cows a break Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintegageo | 582 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Cows. Despite what someone in this thread seems to think, they are absolutely horrible environment-wise. Not as bad as humans obviously though their CO2, the deforestation to raise them and the fresh water used are all just great reasons. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you are saying, but I love the implication in the way you wrote this that it is somehow the cow's fault that they produce so much methane, lol! Obviously there wouldn't be NEARLY so many cows on this planet if it wasn't for humans rearing them for our own purposes, and so any impact the cows have on the environment is also our responsibility. But yeah it's a pretty funny thing to imagine humans blaming the animals we enslave and kill and torture for greenhouse gases emissions! "Fuck you Bessie, where's YOUR fucking Toyota Prius, huh?! I'm doing MY part!!!" 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phart010 | 1,705 Posted October 6, 2021 Author Share Posted October 6, 2021 (edited) I said chicken. The thought of losing these dishes forever makes me cringe: Edited October 6, 2021 by phart010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDIRunner | 2,721 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 (edited) This one is a pretty easy choice for me. I could live without chicken pretty easily. Now if the choice was between red meat and seafood, that would be a difficult choice, at least for me. While we are on the topic, my brother-in-law would have an easy choice. He is allergic to red meat due to a bite from a Lone Star Tick. True story. He had eaten red meat all of his life, but a few years ago (when he was in his mid thirties), he started getting sick at strange times. He went to several doctors who couldn't figure out the problem, but eventually one of them figured out the red meat allergy. He had some tests done and they were able to determine it was caused by a tick bite. The Lone Star tick has the ability to make you allergic to red meat. Pretty shitty.
