With smaller herds and fewer breeding cows, the next two years could spell higher beef prices for consumers. The US Department of Agriculture, or USDA, is projecting a 7% decline in beef production next year.

    I’ve been trying to learn more simple Asian-style meals because there are so many good non-meat options.

    Tofu sucks as a meat substitute because it’s nothing like meat, but made right it’s fucking delicious.

      I agree. Getting away from the idea that you can still sort of eat "meat" with substitutes will make going vegan (based) or severely limiting your animal intake (cringe) much easier. It can also just change how you think about putting together meals, like you mentioned with the Asian-style meals. The way a lot of people see meat as this center piece of every meal is pretty limiting

        That’s the biggest thing I’m trying to get away from, because that’s pretty much how I was raised to think about it. With the exception of some pastas (which usually still include cheese) basically every meal I’d eat has meat as the core.

      Tofu is delicious when you fry it and not bad at all when you saute it. Just learn to love curry and you'll love Tofu.
