Sustainable, Schmustainable: Zuckerberg's Personal Cattle Ranch Attracts Ridicule

[chromedome]

Okay, we've debated the sustainability and environmental impacts of beef on here repeatedly over the years, and we've largely agreed to disagree and/or understand each others' positions on the matter (ie, "'It's not the cow, it's the how,' is not a scientific statement but literally a marketing slogan created by the beef industry").

 

And then there's... this. And even in the context of our current disenchantment with tech bros, it's kinda special.

Oh, good grief! I've forwarded this ridiculous story to our friends who have a ranch in New Mexico where they raise organic grass-fed beef. I don't eat a lot of beef but when I do I eat theirs, which reminds me what really good beef tastes like.  Do cattle actually like to eat macadamia nuts? And who shells all those nuts? We have a tree, and getting that hard shell off the inner nut isn't trivial. First you have to take off the green outer shell (like a small coconut), then crack that very hard brown shell without smashing the nut itself. That's why macadamias are so expensive.

Macadamia nuts??? 

 

I don't even know what to say . . . .

when you have that kind of money 

 

you can start all sorts of projects 

 

that in themselves are, on their own ridiculously expensive 

 

but you just don't notice the cost , nor do you even care .
