I got about a third of the way through and hit my daily limit for stupid.
Demand for beef is manufactured: no, not really. IIRC, Beef consumption per capita was fairly stable until WWI, when it crashed. Didn't recover until the late 60s, really.
Beef is heavily subsidized: counting the corn and soy subsidies that go into the food, yes. Beef itself is a razor thin margin commodity crop. This is why most beef is corn finished.
Demand has recently dropped...: Actually, supply dropped first. We are down about 7% or so year over year, and that's been steady since 2020. Ranchers can't get cows to the feedlots because the feedlots can't get cows to the processor because no one wants to work.
... because of muh global warming: Well, maybe we should stop shoving corn and chicken shit into a ruminant's stomachs and wonder why it has gas.
Beef consumption is artificially portrayed as masculine: Or maybe beef boosts testosterone levels. Maybe testicle havers really do like beef.
The article did a good job convincing me to eat more beef so I can be more masculine. I love that they tie beef to evil colonization, with no mention of if/why bison are somehow better in terms of pollution.
These writers, like most leftists, have never actually grown anything thus haven't been to a farm supply store to purchase cow poop. One must wonder what they think "organic fertilizer" is.
They forget the main point. If one doesn't buy in to your climate propaganda then there's no motive to eat less beef. Replacing beef with fake soy and corn beef imitation is just like replacing a combustion engine car with an electric one. More expensive and not as good.
I've been vegan for over a decade, and even I think this is insane. I didn't even make my kids in ky home go vegan with me. As an adult woman I had different dietary needs than growing boys.
And it's HARD with inflation for me to eat good nutrition. Have you seen the price of nuts? It's nuts!
