I'd rather save the expense by going meatless, if I wasn't already plant-based. Meat isn't as important as some of those in the article make it out to be.
@coolboymew Before online shopping took over, there were small-scale USian traits like fights over TVs. Now it's unremarkable and the offers aren't that great. 11.11 in China may have lost it too but is still the better event.
