In the meantime if you have an Aldi near you - I cannot recommend their smoked tofu highly enough!

Making food production more efficient is welcome (assuming there aren't trade offs with eg animal welfare) - the methane from enteric fermentation is only one of the negative environmental impacts from cows.

Is it too obvious to point out how gendered this is: that the right sees themselves as a collective husband or father, trying to enforce his right to the attention, care, and comfort provided by his wife and mother—that is, American liberals?
