I think a lot of people won't be eating beef in the future, not because of a choice about climate change, but because it'll be out of their price range

It's less to do with pete's specific beef buying post and more to do with expanding on why many west coasters live detached from reality. I was told that my post was detached from reality so I was more responding to woob and generally speaking rather than pete's specific post. I like peter12 and know he is not actually like that, just like my brother. But sometimes when they make comments you wonder if they actually believe some of the stuff they'll say, or have thought through the reality of it that well. Maybe people will stop eating beef, I actually really don't care. It doesn't affect me and I don't really give a ####.
However, many, many, many other positions taken by these people do have very serious and direct implications on millions in Alberta, across Canada, and many other places so yeah, the ivory tower thing does apply.
