OMG I remembered I made the best discovery on my walk yesterday. Turns out we have a delivery service that delivers prime meats and allegedly fresh seafood!

I'm determined this will be my Christmas feast!

They actually have imported Kobe A5.

Edited to ask @Metasynth is this a scam?
Maybe, but probably not. I mean, I can get an entire A5 Kobe rib roast, basically a whole prime rib roast without the bones attached, for about $4000

So I dunno, are they charging $250-$350 for a 16oz ribeye? If so, good chances it’s legit.

But you can find some really nice American raised wagyu beef for much more reasonable prices. The reason Kobe is so expensive is because it has to be born in a specific reigon of the Hyogo prefecture in Japan, and then the cattle must be raised, fed, and slaughtered within the Hyogo prefecture.

But wagyu is the same breed of cow, just raised outside of the area. If you really have to have something imported from Japan, then go for it, otherwise there are cheaper options locally raised that probably have the same quality of marbling

We have local wagyu. Haven't had it yet but I want to see what it's like.

Yeah, here too, big biz olive orchards all over the place. Areas look like god damned Italy lol. Interestingly the vineyards and olive orchards pushed out the cattle biz down here
Desalination,

and wastewater treatment

Hopefully a multi-faceted approach will help. I've been seeing this too:
