depends on the land. normally livestock are put on land which won't grow anything else.

people have lots of different reasons. some don't like the idea of killing a big animal with feelings and expressiveness. some because of how farms abuse or torture animals in some countries. some think Anibal farming is worse for the environment. some have religious prohibitions. some think it's bad for your health. some people don't like the taste or can't afford it but don't want people to think they are weird so they tell people they have a principled argument for it.

Quote of the day

We live in a world where we are constantly being reminded that we must pay attention, though the things we are being asked to pay attention to–political corruption, the erosion of human rights, climate change, systemic racism–are all, ironically, things that cannot be combatted solely by knowing a lot about them. The result of paying attention is either stunning yourself into paralyzing anxiety or sinking deep into depression or rage, or both.

Why don't people selling houses accept payment in installments? (lemmy.ml)
 

Today, they normally demand upfront payment, so the buyer has to borrow from a bank. These loans are extortionate. The buyer normally pays the bank back about double what he borrowed, over about 30 years.

Instead, the buyer could offer to pay 50% extra on the cost of the house. But he will pay some of it in installments over 30 years. The bank gets nothing, and the buyer and sellers both make huge savings.

It wouldn't be suitable for every sale, but it would for many. So why don't people do it? Is there some legal restriction where only the banks are allowed to do this kind of financing?

This is all very interesting. But the truth is, the world is building nuclear because it's cheap. Soon renewables will be cheaper, and states will abandon nuclear.
