10 usd for a pack of grinded meat, while salaries start at 330

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (3 children)

330....per what period? Depending on the length, it starts at "bad" and starts moving toward "apocalyptic."

Hopefully it's per hour. If so, we should all move to Argentina! After some more questions about the nature of this "grinded meat". I bet I could get the price on cockroach meat pretty low.

Anyone who thought the capitalist in bed with Washington and even Musk was gonna do anything good for anyone besides himself and whoever makes him richer is seriously detached from the world/intellectually challenged.

Thats fucked up, yo. Like, being vegetarian is super fuckin’ easy.

Not that my family will ever understand what being a vegetarian means. (“So, what, you don’t eat any meat? At all? . . . What . . What if you go to McDonald’s? I mean - heh -what are ya gonna order?!? Haha.” x 30 years)

any meat? at all? what about fish?

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 6 points 22 hours ago (9 children)

I don't know why so many people think fish is vegetarian, but as someone who doesn't eat any seafood it is one of my biggest pet peeves. It sneaks its way into fucking everything. Caesar salads, kimchi, most Thai food, bahn mis, you name it

It isn't. But it's relatively common to be vegetarian + fish. And historically fish didn't really count as meat which is why Christians were allowed to eat it during pre-Easter "fasting".

I'm sorry you're being served fish and other water animals as "vegetarian", that's fucked up.

I personally am a practicing carnivore, I accept and understand those who aren't, and yet I have no fucking clue why some think fish is "better" meat. I think it must be some christian holdover, scraping for moral superiority.

How much does donkey meat go for, $40,000,000,000?

lol, haughty vegetarians telling poor motherfuckers that they should just not eat meat.

Listen, you assholes: If these people are eating the donkeys it's out of desperation. They don't WANT to eat their donkey, they are starving if they do that.

Here is the actual article.

In the midst of the escalation of prices, the proposal arose to market donkey meat, sold for about 7,500 pesos per kilo. Butcher Gonzalo Moreira, from Buenos Aires, described the effects of the crisis on the sector. "We are facing a major recession. I don't know a merchant who isn't going through difficulties. The sector is under a lot of pressure, even without major price variations. Everything is paid by card, pushed forward," he told Radio 750.

It is industrial production and sale of donkey meat pushed by flesh merchants in cities like Buenos Aires, not poor rural smallholders eating their own donkeys for survival.

Your interpretation of this is ignorant and frankly kind of racist. You think most Argentinians are destitute subsistence farmers plowing their fields with donkeys? Get a grip.

Also I 1000% promise you that vegetables are significantly cheaper to obtain than fucking donkey meat. This is just butchers trying to stay in business.

They should at least eat the straw man first...

[–] ElcaineVolta@kbin.melroy.org -5 points 1 day ago

if you still eat meat, what's the difference?
