Members of Congress are being urged to investigate President Donald Trump’s plan to import hundreds of thousands of metric tons of foreign beef in a bid to lower grocery store costs, amid growing frustration from farm-state lawmakers and the nation’s embattled ranchers at the proposal.
Under the plan, the administration would allow up to 300,000 metric tons of lean beef trimmings into the U.S. tariff-free from a still-unspecified source country for a 90-day period beginning September 1—which Trump said would then be sold “at 25 percent below current market prices."
“Congress needs to have an emergency hearing on this,” John Boyd, founder and president of the National Black Farmers Association, said in response to the proposal, which the president said would “reduce prices for Americans while giving space for our Great American Beef Herd to grow again.”
You don’t have to go full vegan or vegetarian. Reducing beef intake without giving it up is better than nothing. Even swapping to chicken or pork for a meal or two a week will impact your big picture water usage more than you’d think.
This is the way.
I had steak for the first time in like two years yesterday, it was incredible. It was a whole event, a good time all around
Then I picked up some produce and now I just started soaking some beans to cook for the week
A hardliner position is pretty much the least effective method imaginable to win people over. I’m convinced it’s enemy action
You don’t need to make people vegetarian, you shouldn’t even put a vegan label on things. You just have to normalize not eating meat every meal
I’m like 80% vegan. Still do bacon and eggs on the weekend and sometimes chicken with dinner. Even if everyone in the U.S. only became 50% vegan it would be pretty huge.
I feel like so many people think it’s an “all or nothing” type of thing. Where either you’re 100% vegan or you don’t even bother with it.
I’ve been replacing the minimal amount of ground beef we use with bison because it’s good but also because I live with picky motherfuckers who won’t eat Morningstar crumbles even though they taste fine to me.
Who has beef money nowadays anyway?
Beef Money is my street name
You ain’t kidding - 2 years ago a huge pot of my 5 meat chili was 140.00 or so to make. I am not going to want to do it this year.
Ugh now I want to try your 5 meat chili though
But it’d be cooler if you did 😎
So we can have more datacenters right??
My husband eats beef every meal I swear. I’ve stopped eating it entirely, best I can do.
only one of these isn’t an inbreed chimera. And anit Halal.
But the others dont cause anyeurisms when replying online, apparently.
It’s GenZ’lect boomer. catch up, old head.
Oh im sorry. I meant the ‘most’ educatarded generation that cant even.
I see you’re on a new account. Perhaps the fediverse is not where you belong.
You suck
