I eat it from time to time, and try not to think of the impact, because frankly eating beef for dinner is among the worst things you can do environmentally, worse than driving 30 miles a day I just read. Watching the proliferation of Shake-Shack types of bizzes, one has to wonder if people have managed to deny the fact that grass-fed doesn't necessarily mean humane or earth-friendly. Grass-fed doesn't even mean "pasture fed." Most cattle get grass in their early years then get force-fed grain only in the last couple months. Frankly, you couldn't feed America's zeal for burgers on pasture-fed beef alone. To date, there's a bit of a scaling problem with that!<br /><br />I don't like McDonalds. I don't like the food very much, though it has gotten better since they went all "Angus" on us. But hating on McDonalds while not changing one's general eating habits is probably a tad hypocritical. Personally, I feel very ethically compromised by my inability to give up the beef.theQnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1541468051247516447.post-90438281637172640292013-01-03T10:47:33.647-05:002013-01-03T10:47:33.647-05:00I know everyone loves to hate on McD's and I d...I know everyone loves to hate on McD's and I do as well but it is a legit business that does employee a fair number of people.
