Pretty sure that the Rolling Stones has a whole song about where this “beef” is coming from.

      If you can get as much meat as you’re able to from a local butcher.

      Befriend the people at that butcher shop. Have actual conversations with them, ask their advice on things, even if you don’t think you need it.

      The guy that likes you isn’t going to sell you questionable meat. If he’s any good he’s not even buying questionable meat. You might even get discount locally sourced eggs there too.

      It occurs to me that some venture capital firms have tried to corporatize and boutiquify butcher shops with expensive, “artisanal” offerings.

      Your local butcher probably isn’t wasting money on billboard and TV spots. Parking lot will be full every Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. Case will be full and somebody will be actively cutting something up in the back, which will almost certainly be mostly visible.

        We’ve got a butcher’s shop in my country that doubles as a restaurant and all the meat comes from their own farm not too far from the city. Best meat I’ve had.

        The US has like 300x more population and a huge thing for beef in particular. Bound to have tons of places like that if you know where to look, or so I’d hope.

          I also have a quality butcher in ly neighborhood. He wins awards with his sausages, and has his own animals in fields with various farmers he knows.

          Most people just get the cheapest meat at the supermarket, though.

          Very much depends on where you live. There’s my favorite one, the one I go to for a specific sausage, and two corporate nonsense ones within about 10 minutes of my house.

          Where my in-laws live, a city comparable in size to where I live, there are none.

    China wouldn’t take it so trump bought it up and will sell diseased beef to Americans because he doesn’t give a shit if we die as long as he makes money off it.

    People coming up with all those crazy theories while the most likely explanation is that that there is no beef. It’s not the first time Trump promised something without ever planning on delivering it.

      I don’t know about that. Last time he imported beef from Argentina and it pissed off a bunch of beef ranchers. Maybe he thought he could avoid that by just not saying where he got it from this time.

    He never said it was beef. Just “product for.ground beef” whatever that is… I say neigh, I will pass on Burgers for a bit.

    Peak capitalism. Billions of exploited, unidentified animals suffering for profit. Corpse flesh of an unknown species.

    How we treat other creatures seems to be a reflection of how we treat one another as a species.

      They have been selling captured wild horses. I just hadn’t realised they captured quite that many.

      I’m gonna be real, the majority of the US will never give up eating meat. It’s engrained in the culture and the way people live every day. It would be like asking people to give up couches and only ever use chairs.

        Red meat industry is several times worse for the environment, it’s the most pollution. But really you have the food waste as the lowest hanging branch, and newer techniques like cold pasteurization with radiation can be done on raw meat and produce without heating it. Reducing food waste by 10 to 20 percent is entirely doable.

      You know, the last couple of years has had me setting up solar power, buying an EV, and eating almost no animal products except for eggs from my spoiled chickens.

      I think trimp is a leftist plant being used to trick everyone into being more environmentally friendly. At least thats what I like to point out to conservatives.

      Some people would apparently be dragged in front of a firing squad than learn to like tofu, seitan, beans and other nutritious sources of plant-based protein.

      As a vegan, I’m finding I enjoy food way more than I did as a carnist. It’s an adventure.

    Just read “Tender is the Flesh” . If they start advertising it as special meat, know its people
