I wish they'd rethink the WEIRD initialism. Much of the growth in meat demand from the US, AU, AR, BR, etc., is for satisfying demand from growing and maturing economies like China, SEAsia, Russia, etc.

Sure, the "west" got there first, but almost every country exhibiting economic vigor has seen an increased demand on animal protein.

perhaps if we start pricing in the healthcare costs, the market will take care of this problem.

Healthcare costs for what? There’s a lot of evidence that a high fat low carb, moderate protein diet is very healthy.
