    Just one more stroke of madness from the Peoples Republic of California: :laugh: California pig rules could cause bacon to disappear[^]

    Pig farming is amongst the most disgusting of all - aside from the mass killings - the filth, pollution, and stench are almost indescribable. It should be required by law that bacon (and other pork eaters) live in areas surrounded by the pig farms, with sample outposts sown amongst their little estates to keep it "fresh" in their thoughts.

      Oh my! With that option you all but gave him a wet-dream way to explain away what he doesn't like. On the other hand, it's trendy: to all-too-many, the road to reality is that anything they don't like must be a lie.

      Lots of people in my country are soft these days - maybe they always were and I didn't notice. Don't like reality? Just cry fake news! Don't like the outcomes in your life? Pretend they didn't happen. Don't like a raging pandemic? Ignore it and die from it! It's ridiculous. And I wonder if at some point there's something to Douglas Adams' notion (expressed by way of Wonko the Sane) that civilization started to collapse when we put instructions on boxes of toothpicks. Like, is it too easy to get by now? Should we stop putting warning labels on things? What? Because I wonder about a world where you can grow up in utter denial of reality and manage to survive that.

        So we're just going to assume a bunch of people are hopelessly short sighted. I mean, not only is that depressing to consider, but it's really bad form to be wrong about that, as in danger- hubris will rogers - danger. Furthermore, it's just not likely. But you know what? If you're right, there will be an initiative soon to undo it. I just don't think you're right.

        It's not clear if you understood what I meant to mean. But from your response, it would appear that you think most of the voters understood exactly what they were voting for. Surely you do not believe that, do you?

          I'm here for lab grown/3d printed bacon. I'd eat that if they could make it not taste like band aids (*sideeyes* "turkey bacon") I don't mind eating meat - I didn't claw my way to the top of the food chain to be a vegetarian, but... 1. I do understand in the face of 8+ billion people that this is a very real problem. 2. I don't like eating things that aren't stupid. Stupid is food with legs. Chickens. Pigs on the other hand, are smart - I think they can contemplate future suffering, for example. I wonder what ever possessed an animal so intelligent to be so tasty. It's a tragedy. 3. As long as I can get bacon I probably will as my lack of impulse control where bacon is concerned is legendary.

            I think most people that bother to vote on an issue like making pig farming more humane realize that it makes it more expensive. I refuse to believe that people around me are cartoon parodies of people. They can understand cause and effect.

              That wasn't quite the argument, but we'll have to agree to disagree.

                  Such a clever response! Pig farms are legendary for their filth - visit one[^].
                  Better still - go to a real one.

                    I suppose you aren't following what has happened in other countries with some big referendums... if you did, that question would be a rethoric one.

                    M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

                      keep your shorts on. CA doesn't even come close to being an important pork producing state.

                        The earthquakes and drought and wildfires are enough reason for me. To quote Nikita Khrushchev, "It's a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there." :rolleyes:
