Obligatory fuck Nestle, but also “low emissions dairy” is a hoax - the “clean coal” of the ag industry.

    I wonder how that’d play out. I mean, if we replaced milk with “same same but different but still same” milk, what would farmers do? Would milk just come from factories instead?

      I mean, it’s already coming from factories. The new ones just wouldn’t be designed for optimizing animal torture.

      The new factories would look a lot like breweries, there’d still be plenty of work to do - maybe a small net loss of headcount per gallon, but from what I understand dairy farming is one of the most difficult farm jobs. As long as there’s help transitioning it’s a net gain for the world to not have people doing that work.
