    Beef isn’t even that good, to be honest. I’ve also heard that beef is one of the most energy-demanding meats to produce.

      When I still ate meat, I thought beef was pretty the only kind that didn’t taste horrible.

        a lot of that is the feed they feed it. gamey steak is a very different taste, almost musky, you can kinda taste the grass in it too

          part of it is the bland “corn-fed” diet that most cows are finished on, but a bigger part of it is just ruminant meats not having certain scents

          even super gamey lamb and goat doesn’t feel as “smelly” to me as pork

        Huh, that’s honestly really surprising to hear. Beef has one of the strongest smells and tastes, I always thought that would be the meat that people that don’t really like meat would hate.

          Beef is a very “clean” meat in terms of odor and taste IMO. It makes sense to me that vegetarians would be more accepting of beef than other meats (apart from chicken breast).

          Ruminant meats in general have this “clean” quality to them, but beef is the mildest of the rums

      It really isn’t. I only like burgers because you get to season the meat properly and fill the buns with sauce and salad.

      Steaks are also an incredibly mid food to me, they’re chewy and don’t taste like much at all, I’m pretty sure people that supposedly love steak are just virtue signalling.

      Beef stews can be pretty good tho, but that’s only because of the veggies, spices and savoriness of the meat, which you could get from other stuff too anyway.

        I’m not advocating for meat eating at all when I say this:

        Steaks aren’t supposed to be chewy. It means you either got a trash cut or it was cooked wrong.

        I fucking love steak. Not virtue signaling.

        I also know it is bad for my health and the planet so i don’t eat it that often.

                fair honestly

                I mean I don’t see them as some opposing ideologies like the usual ‘both sides’ but I’m fine with an explanation on the subject.

                    to be fairly honest, yes i was being a dick for no reason, and im sorry. Its something I’m working on really sucking at.

                    Im wondering if I have BPD or something, my mood swings lately have left me puzzled. Im probably just being an asshole.

      I like beef Gansu style but steaks are extremely overrated. And also usually prefer pork more
