I don't give af what the inaccurate, racist, corrupt U.S. federal government says. The U.S. government used to attempt to classigy Asian's as being White. As well as all middle - easterners, just to make the country appear more White. And even in Texas, police mark some black people - black as charcoal, and a bunch of dark hispanics - as 'White', to avoid getting in trouble for racial profiling.

FOH with that bullshit.

Duck Fat does them so well, the hype is pretty legit. I honestly have only been to the restaurant once, but I get them at Oxbow nearly every time I'm there. So good.

Frying Dutchman is supposed to be great but I haven't tried them yet. The one time I went they were closed for like a week randomly.

Yeah, some other ways are not having a child (just one less child even... not zero children) and also drive an electric car. But considering most people est multiple times a day, those small choices are much more accessible than the other two. So to me small diet changes are the most accessible

Yeah that makes sense. I eat neither so no need to convince me. Just searching for some low hanging fruit for people ready to make some changes. Got this particular detail from a website focused on pets' climate footprint, and it sounded like chicken based pet food was significantly better than beef based, though I don't know how trustworthy that source was.

It's not as big of a difference as even the most transported meat substitute. since chickens have to eat a lot of calories to yield a lot of calories (trophic level heat loss) so we would still be growing all that grain to only yield 50% worth of calories of chicken. Did that make sense?
