Good luck with getting Americans to pay more for and/or eat less meat.

We’re practically addicted to eating meat in some form at every meal. Not to mention the weird group of folks that have tied eating meat to masculinity.

nobody talked about eating less meat. I love meat as well. if you feed your livestock better, you get better quality meat!

I was shocked how cheap meat is in the US. I was at Costco looking at some briskets and pork belly.

Here in Switzerland for good quality meat you're going to pay between 30-50 CHF/kg for pork and up to 120 CHF/kg for beef.
