The Stuck Bus.
I agree with you up to rich city part. I just traveled horizontally around the world and having been to much more 'rich' cities, I can safely say that has nothing to fo with public transportation in my experience.
In Basel Switzerland, they have trams on every road, and they are a much wealthier city. Actually every city I was in in Switzerland had better transportation, snow all over the roads, and probably 50% more people making over six figures.
And conversely there are small towns in Brasil with much better public transportation systems than ours. Their bus systems have streets dedicated for mass transit though.

And lastly, since I'm am passionate about how much I hate the mass production meat industry I want to make a point about how NOT eating meat actually serves to be less productive in fighting the meat industry than eating local sustainable meat.
The more people eat local sustainable meat, the more support that industry gets will result in less support and business for the mass produced meat industry. Supporting local farms by buying local meat is literally the most effective thing you can do to counteract overproduction.
Not eating meat, literally does nothing. Being a vegetarian isn't a solution. It's a fallacy to feel good about oneself. It's fine people can do what they want. But if you want to actually change things, become a lawyer or politician (or tim eyman) and start suing and filing actions and passing legislation against said meat industry.

Any frozen meat product has at least 3 types of meat in them, not counting the organic stuff. I wouldn't touch that. But you put local pig cheek ground with lean sirloin and make a burger I'll eat the shit out of it, and I'll have another to make up for you not having one.

@21 I own a cat. I do not eat cats because A. They are pets. B. They have names. C. It's probably illegal. D. Probably taste like shit.
I would never ask culinary advice from a Vegan. It would be akin to asking a dog advice on using thumbs.
Look at what you not eating meat is accomplishing, and if your reply is anything more than "nothing" than you are kidding yourself.
World meat consumption won't be solved by abstaining from eating meat. Same as telling people to abstain from sex accomplishes nothing.
You probably think I'm such a sick fuck for using pig cheeks in burger meat. So that makes me still a less sick fuck than the millions of other Americans who would be perfectly happy to throw away the less palatable parts of animals.

Take that money, buy a meat grinder, and start making sausages and crazy burgers.
Pig cheeks 30% sirloin 40% (30% something lean) = Nice place to start.
And if you already have it, then buy one of these baking steels.
