lib ideology world eg Peace Corps "Oh you could have an organic farm here and grow lots of veg instead of animals"
Villager : I buy a calf for $100 and put in on the mountain then next year sell it for $500.. easy money
I grow veg and sit around at the market for hours, nope I'll grow palm oil and sell it to the plantation company who will come and pick it up and give me big cash"
...
imho vegans and vegetarians are crazy
