    I’m amazed that farmers who raise animals that are fattened with the western diet staples and are fat keep eating the same stuff

    Ducks are fattened in the same way for foie gras, with maize. And of course Wagyu.

    The remarkable thing is they only need to be fed this for a very short period of time, relative to their lifespan. Grains rapidly cause metabolic dysfunction.

      yeah marbling in meat is a VERY UNHEALTHY SIGNAL. Don’t buy marbled meat. Happily this means the cheaper meats have better lives and are healthier!
