I actually don't like things on my pizza anymore, I'm cool with cheese.
I'm sorry about this thread y'all but when I saw it pop up on my news feed I started laughing hysterically and I just had to share.

There is a shortage in meat and dairy because the meat industry killed and threw away thousand and thousands of animals during the pandemic because of issues with selling and shipping combined with the cost of keeping them alive. Now there is a shortage.

This happened during the great depression, too. I was talking about this in maybe April in the coronavirus thread because I listen to agriculture/farmer podcasts
One of the issues was that the butcher shops were closed so they couldn't get the animals butchered so they basically had to kill them. That was with pigs. It had started to happen to chicken too
This would make for a great wacky conspiracy theory: covid is part of a vegan conspiracy.

"Had to". The alternative is to keep them alive and feed them for X# of months. It would raise the price of meat, but so what?
If it were a vegan conspiracy we'd be allowed to rescue the animals and bring them to sanctuaries, but in many cases, those who owned the animals refused to allow this. This included sanctuaries that were able to pay for X# of animals.
Totally made me think of a simcity news headline

We may suffer now, but pepperoni shall make a shift in the future for increase in supply.
It's a conspiracy. They're turning ronis into rona
