    I don’t really feel sorry for people who still get to eat meat, even if it’s from a donkey. There’s plenty of people who survive on nothing more than rice.

    And yes, I absolutely think it’s a good thing people are getting used to eating less beef, even if it is due to shitty circumstances. I also don’t feel sorry for people who drive a huge gas-guzzling pick-up truck who can now drive a little less than before or god forbid get a smaller car… Because that is what we can compare beef to: from all the meats it’s one of the worst kind for the environment, and often also for the animals themselves. All this considered, it shouldn’t be a daily staple food but a luxury food imo. So no, I don’t feel sorry at all that Argentinians have to give up that piece of exorbitant luxury. I think it’s outrageous that they’re switching to eating donkeys rather than eating less meat.
