You put a 50% tariff on Brazil, your biggest exporter of meat, and you wonder why prices soar… Fucking dumbasses.
Lol, New Zealand imports more beef to the US than Brazil. Brazil is #5 at less than 10%.
Absolutely outdated source.

Among many, many, many other sources. So stfu if you don’t know what you’re talking about.
Dear leader promised to lower grocery prices on day one so they must be low, right? Don’t believe your eyes, just believe in the plan they say.
We’re all going to be soo rich once the billionaires get theirs.
Good for the environment:]
Great time for people to go vegan if they aren’t already
Beans are hella cheap!
It’s the year of veganism (and Linux) in your household.

But we’re mainstream now, we need to improve our unbearability.
Anyone else like Tool? I use arch, btw.
American beef is expensive because it is STRONG, not like the WEAK European beef that is cheap.
Retail beef prices are soaring, but I can tell you from the other end, auction sale prices of market weight steers sure as fuck hasn’t gone up that much.
Lot of squeezing happening in the middle somewhere. Curious, that one.
Must be low prices in the west due to farmers being forced to sell and the buyers know it. In the East beef prices are jaw dropping high.
Greedflation/ Profit Gouging
We noticed this when we went to a Texas Roadhouse. Their restaurant prices for steaks hadn’t gone up hardly at all and seemed very surprisingly reasonable, whole beef at the grocer is painful.
Living in Nebraska I can get shrimp, lobster , salmon, tuna steaks far cheaper than a fucking ribeye right now
Not sure where you are, but here in Alberta it’s more than double what it was a few years ago to buy a half steer, and I’m buying from a family member.
Trump is trying to take your hamburgers away.
hamberders
And suddenly MAGA was vegan because it’s “patriotic” or something…
This may surprise you, but a lot of far/right people are vegan, and into permaculture, recycling, etc.
deleted by creator
A lot of far right people are into whatever an influencer does because that’s their news.
They are not vegan. They are into permaculture because they’re in a “manly man make money women stay home” cult and they can’t afford to have 5 kids and a stay at home wife on husband’s paycheck.
Those who have the room usually raise chickens at least, there’s centrally not a large intersection of vegans and far right people.
MAYBE if we give Producers LESS Regulations and Competition they’ll DROP Prices?
-Donald Trump and ALSO Democrats!
Same story since at least Reagan. Surely next time it will work!
I don’t know, it seems trickle down has been a great success… for the wealthy!
Corporate dictatorship, doing corporate dictatorship things, because it’s a corporate dictatorship.
People will just switch to chicken, pork, or add “meat free Friday” to their menus. Consumers are fed up at this point and aren’t going to pay some of these prices.
I am a vegetarian, however my dog is not. She has multiple allergies (chicken, and all grains) and I have to cook her food for her. It is getting really expensive to feed her.
Look into rabbit or kangaroo, depending on where you’re located they could be reasonably priced vs beef. Pets with common protein allergies usually don’t have reactions to those, or venison for that matter.
Source: one of our cats is allergic to basically all poultry, we switched to rabbit and salmon based foods
Look into rabbit or kangaroo
Interesting how things that hop don’t have the triggering protein. Now I wonder how frog and crickets would compare…
Lmao. Seriously though it’s exposure; beef, chicken and pork are the cheapest and most common animal proteins available to pet food manufacturers so they’re in just about everything. If for some reason the animal has an immune response and those proteins are present at the time the immune system can decide that they’re the cause and the animal then develops an allergy or sensitivity to them. With limited ingredient or single protein foods you’re just dodging the proteins most pets are pre-exposed to.
One of our cats is so allergic to poultry (chicken, eggs, etc) that he’ll scratch and chew himself bloody if he eats it consistently. We had to switch to rabbit and fish based foods or he was an unhappy creature.
That’s really fascinating, TIL!
I’d be shocked if you could get cheap roo. I’m Australian and roo costs more than beef here.
I got a kilo of roo mince Monday for $13, beef mince was $20/kg
In the US or Australia? Curious because roo has always been pretty expensive here.
Ya gotta teach your kitties to chase down their own Roos. My kitties love to hunt mice, a Roo is just a big mouse.
Oh, right, I just remembered Sylvester getting his ass kicked by a Roo in the old Looney Tunes cartoons, maybe that isn’t such a great idea.
Fair enough, roo protein cat food is about the same cost here as rabbit or venison but I’m assuming they’re all a bit over priced
This is the result with my wife and I. Before I was pushing us to eat less beef for environmental reasons but years ago the price went up enough that its essentially a special occasion thing and fast food went out the window with their prices getting to high. What stinks is pork is something I wanted to eliminate but its cost vs quality tends to beat out all other meats except maybe the five dollar costco chickens.
Damn, it’s the same exact thing at my house, I could have written this. Beef is absolutely a special occasion thing at my house, I now cook it maybe twice a year. I really dislike pork for various reasons, but chicken prices have gone up a lot too. I just can’t do the pork though, sometimes I’ll get sausage(s) when the local maker has them on sale, but thats it.
I’ve been preparing a lot more bean dishes this last year or so, often times I won’t have meat so my husband and son can have it and it stretches further.
Beef is so resource intensive to produce, I’m not actually that upset its gotten so expensive, it probably should be expensive. So a beef dish feel special when we have do have it.
That last paragraph real rings with me to. Im not a good cook and my wife does that is a bit more meat centric than I. My dream would be a lacto/ovo frutarian but Im not sure I could do it even if I was rich with a highly skilled personal chef.
Sad to hear that a single day a week without eating meat is an inconvenience for some :(
Any reduction in beef consumption is a win for the environment. I hope beef becomes completely unaffordable.
Edit: Instead of down voting, maybe do a cursory investigation into some of the top causes of climate change. It ain’t bean sprouts causing it.
Yeah, and unlike gas prices going up there are readily available alternatives people can switch to easily with little cost.
if production doesn’t decrease, the environment won’t notice.
What happens when demand decreases?
advertising increases or prices drop or new markets are opened
Surely a store with no customers will still exist! Love this argument and how solid the logic is. Follow your little thought experiment farther than just a few steps.
People are too emotionally invested in meat. They’d rather die in record high temperatures than go without or even reduce.
And I’m literally only talking about beef. Chicken may be atrocious from a cruelty perspective but it has a negligible environmental impact compared to beef. People who are emotionally invested in eating beef don’t see that they have the exact same mentality as anti-maskers did during the pandemic: doing this helps the entire human race and prevents the suffering of millions of people, but I refuse to even consider any change in my behavior because it makes me temporarily uncomfortable.
How can someone demand action from others against something like rising fascism when they won’t even change their lunch habits?
I feel like the “I have to eat meat every day” people overlap a lot with the “I refuse to wear a mask” people. Are you thinking they’re largely different people?
Probably pretty large, considering half of US beef consumption is by males aged 50-65.
I don’t think you can separate people so cleanly.
Beef is delicious and nutritionally dense. But $20-$30 per pound is what just regular-ass steak costs in NYC, so pork it is.
99c/lb butts and shoulders all summer. It’s been great.
Or just get the lamb over rice. They say it’s lamb; I know it’s mystery meat, I don’t care. Great success.
If meat from foreign countries was vermin, it would cost way more than steak.
Please listen to the Beef and Dairy Network for survival tips.
I got a feeling this administration is gonna release a an influenza in late October that only affects the turkey industry. If he could he would wreck Thanksgiving for everyone. Simply speaking, it’s the folks that prop this puppet not just dt that need removal. It’s that Stephen Miller bitch who needs his skull turned into an ashtray. It’s the inhuman Tom Homan , he’s despicable on his best day. If we can begin that process of removal , I then have a shred of faith that America may begin to recover. Unfortunately, some serious sausage is gonna need to be tubed up. Well ya’ll understand how it happens. No need to go on to any further detail here.
These are the corpses of vulnerable individuals who experienced cruelty, violence, and atrocity. There is nothing provided by their bodies and secretions that a human being needs to be healthy and happy that cannot be obtained more cheaply without the exploitation and abuse of vulnerable individuals.
While i agree with you, phrasing it like this is just getting the whole topic ridiculed by anyone who doesn’t already agree with you anyway…
But how would we know if that poster’s a vegan if they didn’t lecture us?
Where is the lecture?
You seem so personally attacked by someone responding to an article with facts of individuals suffering and suggesting we deviate.
Someone who rejects the content because they don’t like the form is an idiot. Unfortunately, all of us are idiots like that.
The real sticking point is that if they agree out loud then they have to stop eating meat or be a hypocritical, and they won’t accept either.
Please enlighten me on what makes this statement easy to ridicule? All they have said is these individuals deserve respect and we shoukd find proper alternatives elsewhere.
I think you should bemoan the people who ridicule rather than people asking for liberation of individuals.
