The title may sound weird. I initially wrote it as “fuck over the billionaires”. But it is not only billionaires, but also multi-millionaires and people who think themselves hierarchically superior.
So:
- Are you doing something to fuck over “the powerful”? If so, what?
Kind of reminds me of a vegan couple I knew in college. They did a speech in class (for public speaking), and one of the points was “Even just cutting meat out one day a week, like with meatless mondays, helps a lot more than you’d expect”
Even cutting back can make a dent
Looking at the average meat consumption is crazy tbh. We buy less between the 2 of us, even if you include the bone/fat/skin as when I do buy it I get the cheapest cuts. Got a small cut of pork shoulder for this week, and that is the entire weeks meat, 4 meals from the pork with the other 3 being vegetarian (cheese/honey so not vegan)
Beekeeper here. For the life of me, I can’t understand why vegans can’t have honey. I understand it is an animal product. But there is no harm to bees when harvesting honey properly.
Same goes for wool. Have you ever seen a sheep that hasn’t been sheered?
Any interesting recipes for the pork shoulder? I took one out of the freezer yesterday that I’m going to be braising today, but also I have another bigger one in the freezer that I should do something with at some point
It needs time to reduce how tough it is, either slow cooking it or let it soak in vinegar (and other things for seasoning) for a long time before cooking. Often go for that if I am going to cook it over a firepit.
This week I will be slow cooking it in a pasta sauce. Skin/fat removed and frozen to use another time, rendering the fat in a saucepan and keep it cooking until the solid bits go crispy, delicious with salt and I keep the fat in a pot in the fridge. I freeze it so that I can render it in batches as its quite a mess to clean up and loves sticking to the pan. I do wonder if a wire mesh to keep it off the base of the pan would help.
