Can we subsidize oyster and other yummy mushrooms instead? Because those are among my expensive treat groceries!

Like it’d be $2ish a lb at this rate. I’d be cooking so many mushrooms, my family would get totally sick of them lol

I highly recommend growing mushrooms is you are friends with people who like them or your family likes them as well. Its soooooooo easy, quick, and low maintenance. The only problem I’ve encountered is having too many so you’ll either be eating mushrooms for every meal for a while or you’ll share with friends

Carnists force us to help pay for their meat treats and then go all “FUCK YOU WHY DO YOU CARE IF I ENJOY A BURGER YOU DON’T GET TO IMPOSE YOUR MORALITY ON ME.” It even happens on this very site!

Where are the free market libertarians? Oh wait, I forgot they weren’t actually politically consistent or coherent.
