My daughters and I are feeding cows 10,000 pounds of macadamia nuts each and that's what makes us so relatable and makes it so clear we don't need to be taxed at 95+ percent of our income.

    @ct_bergstrom@fediscience.org Yikes!! Beef is already one of the most environmentally-horrible foods on the planet so I can only imagine how that damage increases when they're wasting macadamia nuts and beer on their beasts on an island that is ecologically fragile.

    @ct_bergstrom@fediscience.org Google tells me macadamia meal is the waste product left behind after the nuts are shelled, so that's a little better I guess. I have no explanation for giving the cows beer though lol. Maybe an animal welfare push?

    @ct_bergstrom@fediscience.org Most Australians can't afford to eat macadamias - the nut that's native to our own country. A bag of broken pieces sells for about Au$15 for 400g. Feeding macadamias to your cattle is just another way of telling us you're obscenely rich, with emphasis on "obscene".
