They were referencing the last paragraph of the OP, about being able to safely sunset a large portion of beef production.

Looking at a theoretical shift in production is not "wanting to stand in loco parentis".

It would be safe. That's a different question from how we make decisions, or who makes those decisions.

  • Precisely. I'm saying if we let the production capacity evaporate, which appears to be the trajectory we're on, there will be no harm. Will people be sad or have strong feelings about a luxury good being unaffordable? Potentially, and that's unfortunate.
