Pretty sure that the Rolling Stones has a whole song about where this “beef” is coming from.
My friend had a great theory that it’s the horses being put to slaughter.
China wouldn’t take this tainted beef so ofc the shithead does. Probably pat himself on the back for thinking about the little guy…
Fucking moron. What’s going to be next that we can’t eat? Fruit? Potatoes? Bread???
I read an article today that there was tons of tainted beef that China turned down back in the spring. I forget which country has it. There is speculation that the US has bought it after that country called US to make deal. I will see if I can find the article.
Edit here is an article about it.
Mystery beef.
Wild horses rounded up and disappeared.
He’s just running the old TESCO special, ain’t he?
I’m stocking up on cat food before this shit ends up killing all of our pets.
It’s primarily going to be put in animal food and processed foods.
Frozen pizzas. Tv dinners. Canned soups.
Sold to restaurants from their bulk suppliers. Especially fast food places.
Packaged frozen hamburger patties at grocery stores.
Any type of frozen meals with beef.
The big rolls of frozen hamburger.
It’s going to be hard to avoid it but not impossible.
Avoid any beef you can’t determine where it came from.
I’d just become vegetarian if the veggies weren’t also toxic. Republicans really have turned this place into a shit hole
And in this case, literally.
You can cook the vegetables
Idk if this always gets out toxic pesticides. Like the kind that other countries ban that we don’t.
Probably helps with the bacteria outbreaks though.
The Tyson beef plant that just got shutdown in the Midwest is going to fuck Republicans…
Not because of the 2-3k workers, not because of the increased price consumers pay.
But all the livestock owners who suddenly have nowhere near to slaughter cattle at scale are fucked. Couple that with flooding the market with Argentinian beef, and a lot of Republican voters are going to stay home for midterms.
They might not admit to themselves they want Republicans to lose majorities, and they’ll likely spend the next two years bitching about Dems. But a lot of them just won’t find the time to vote when they’re getting fucked this blatantly
Tyson beef plant that just got shutdown
That is primarily a consequence of immigration crackdowns. Beef inflation up 9% while cattle is down 9%+
this is an insight I hadn’t considered.
makes intuitive sense but do you have any links or references so people can learn more?
I thought drought was a major factor in beef supply drop but it’s probably multiple things
Meat packing is heavily biased towards foreign born workers. The companies have complained about high labour costs.
Cattle prices are from futures market charts. The typical market price effects from narratives of “high beef demand” and “Cattle shortages” would be higher cattle prices.
The US beef supply is squeezed because some big droughts from a couple of years ago forced ranchers to sell off a lot of their herds.
Now, they don’t have the herds to supply the demand, and you can’t just magick more cows into existence. Once the problem exists, it takes a bunch of time to grow calves into cows.
The problem is exacerbated by a dynamic where the current high prices encourage ranchers to sell their cattle instead of keeping them around to grow the herd.
you can’t just magick more cows into existence.
well maybe YOU can’t
neither can I but if we can find the asshat who can but isn’t…
And if it came from Argentina like everyone is suspecting, it might be contaminated. It’s not like he’d care if it was.
China rejects Argentine beef due to chloramphenicol: investigation and internal consumption crisis
On March 19, the General Administration of Customs of China suspended a shipment of 22 tons of beef from the slaughterhouse ArreBeef in Pérez Millán (Buenos Aires), after detecting the presence of chloramphenicol, an antibiotic banned in Argentine livestock production since 1995 due to its risks to human health.
The measure raised concerns in the agro-export chain and immediately activated diplomatic and technical channels between both countries.
Nice investigative work - this is the first I’ve heard about the contamination. It looks like China caught the issue back in March, and its highly likely more of the supply chain was compromised. This would make it subject to further Chinese boycotts, endangering the Argentian economy and screwing Milei because it makes things bumpy for Peter Thiel in his new home.
This is why Trump is both helping Milei and refusing to say where the beef is from.
Btw, these are the side effects of chloramphenicol:
Serious and fatal blood dyscrasias (aplastic anemia, hypoplastic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and granulocytopenia) are known to occur after the administration of chloramphenicol.
There have been reports of aplastic anemia attributed to chloramphenicol which later terminated in leukemia.
Blood dyscrasias have occurred after both short-term and prolonged therapy with this drug.
To be clear, I didn’t do the investigative work. It was linked in the original Raw Story article: https://www.rawstory.com/beef-import-2677774264/
These days reading the article counts as research. Have an extra upvote for honesty tho ;)
Its coming from the US where they store huge amounts of frozen beef to keep the price high. I know they did that with pork a few years back.
Soylent Green is PEOPLE!!
