neutralbipolar2Say it ain’t so
emidioI know it’s a shipost and this meme is at least 15 years old. But meat, cheese, and white bread (especially the ones in the US with added sugar) were never healthy
downpunxxmeat, cheese and bread were never healthy, says a man descended from 10 thousand years of meat cheese and bread eaters
it’s about the scale at which these items are consumed - eating meat every day was pretty much unheard of
Was it capitalism or was it refrigeration?
TheSaneWriterBoth. Refrigeration is what allows us to store and (I would argue more importantly) transport large amounts of meat, and is as such essential to the industry. However, Capitalism is also key to the meat industry because its lobbyists constantly push for meat subsidies, which is the main reason meat is cheap enough to be something we have every meal instead of once every couple of days.
