The best scenario would be if we could end the corn subsidy and let the price of meat rise to reflect its true cost (why the fuck does a McDouble cost $1.00?!?!?). That alone would discourage consumption and help to realign our priorities.

Aren't McD's "burgers" mostly soy anyway? In my opinion, people should have to kill their own meat. I'm fine with it, but I know for damn sure that most people never connect the meat on their plate to the animal that eats, walks and shits.

Nope, they're 100% beef. Beef from cows that are pumped full of antibiotics.

Hmm, guess so.
