Pretty sure that the Rolling Stones has a whole song about where this “beef” is coming from.
Because it’s really Soylent Green.
If you’re not already watching this guy, I recommend you start. He’s pretty good. He says there’s no way Argentina can produce and export 300k tons of beef in 3 months and it almost certainly comes from Brazil. He also explains why.
So don’t eat beef. Or jalapeños. Or lettuce. Or granola. Or blueberries.
The hell happened to granola?
Though, I’m also realizing I don’t really know what granola is… Is it its own plant?
What in the world are these factories doing that they managed to contaminate granola?!
Ah, “organic moringa powder”! They add that after the granola is baked!
Definitely avoid Driscolls
impossible, Driscolls has a monopoly in grocery stores. Amazing since Driscoll doesn’t grow a single berry.
Fortunately my aunt grows blueberries so I have a steady supply of those (they freeze really well). I need another family member to start growing strawberries and raspberries and I’ll be set.
Just don’t eat. It’s American roulette. The number of recent recalls due to broken glass contamination in everything from popsicles to bread has also risen, but I can understand not being up to speed when the entire food supply is slowly becoming hazardous to your health.
And My axe
I’m stocking up on cat food before this shit ends up killing all of our pets.
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
Well, except for things like lettuce and things like garnish, but…yeah.
I’m so glad I’m a vegetarian when it comes to things like tainted meat, but plenty of vegetarian things can get tainted too, a common one being lettuce.
Ahem,
https://thewoksoflife.com/cooked-lettuce-with-oyster-sauce-garlic/
Cook that lettuce like you hate crapping your pants.
Cook for about 20 seconds, to lightly wilt the lettuce.
Ahem, You’re not gonna treat the contaminated vegetables this short amount of time blanching.
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 good news is that they’ve slashed the CDC’s capability of tracking food-borne illness.
And stopped testing food for contaminants at all
I’m stocking up on cat food before this shit ends up killing all of our pets.
you would not believe the stuff they put in cat food.
Yeah I know already it’s bad. But at least this problem I can avoid by buying it before it gets in it.
In some countries, they feed cats real food, not “cat food”. I lost a cat to intestinal inflammation because I thought I was feeding him properly.
I try feeding my cats boiled meat sometimes. If I cut off the fat or something from something I’m cooking for me, I will dice it up and boil it.
Neither of my cats will eat boiled meat with the exception of my newer cat who was a stray. But even he will only eat canned tuna.
Not turkey. Not ham. Not beef. No chicken.
No lunch meat.
Not even bacon!
I don’t get why they don’t like the best food for them.
I can’t give them tuna all the time because of the mercury.My older cat likes marshmallows. Weird but it is bone meal based.
The stray will eat some wet food so he gets some every day. But my older cat won’t touch the stuff.
🤷
I offer to them and then put outside for a local oppossom when they decline.
I don’t like to waste animal products so someone gets it.
Try organ meat, perhaps?
Might be worth trying. I’ll look into what kinds are safe. I honestly never thought to try that. 👍
Liver, kidneys, heart. Lungs are probably fine too. The thing about organ meat is that it contains a lot of nutrients that aren’t necessarily in muscle meat.
Try feeding them raw meat too, instead of boiling it first. That might be what’s causing them to reject it.
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.
And they can’t sell American beef to China anymore because well - you know. Before I went to Sam’s club in Shanghai it was mainly USDA beef. Now there is no American beef at all. Only Australian. Which I prefer anyway. It’s much better quality and less chemicals inside.
BTW China last week rejected a shipment of Argentinan beef because of banned antibiotics so perhaps it will get rerouted to the US. Where the regime clearly does not care about food safety standards anymore.
Did China ever buy it?
The reason why people don’t want it is that it doesn’t meet standards, generally with disease prevention.
That’s why we don’t buy it here in Australia. We would if it met our standards but it never does.
And frankly I wouldn’t buy US beef in Australia anyway. Aussie beef is great, probably second only to New Zealand beef to be honest.
Yeah what we do well here is a high grade, standard product.
The quality is very high for the price.
Basically, American beef is a hard sell outside the US because it is full of things that don’t belong in food in many countries. Of the thousands of beef farmers in the US, there is barely a dozen qualified to deliver beef to the EU. Think about it.
it is full of things that don’t belong in food in many countries
like shit. US fecal counts are insanely high
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???
@switcheroo @inclementimmigrant
‘Illegal Aliens’
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.
Finally, Trump made access to medecin free…
No surprise that it’s Argentina, whose president is friends with Trump.
The president is rotting in an American jail last I checked.
You’re thinking of Venezuela.
Shit, you’re right, my bad. I shouldn’t comment before coffee, lol.
Mystery beef.
Wild horses rounded up and disappeared.
He’s just running the old TESCO special, ain’t he?
My friend had a great theory that it’s the horses being put to slaughter.
Can we test the beef to determine what animal it came from?
I feel like it would at least taste different
lol and who’s going to do that? The FDA? would you trust it if they said it was okay?
Pretty easy to test for that using DNA testing.
Or just eating it. Taste is different.
Source: in my area we eat horses. A lot.
Having never eaten horse myself, as I’ve never had the opportunity, I always expected it would taste similar to lamb, venison, goat, etc. Am I thinking correctly, or way off?
Nope, it’s much closer to beef than game or sheep, it’s rich in iron and has a somewhat sweet flavour, more delicate than beef while actually being more tasty, if that makes any sense.
Genuine question, what is the taste profile of horse meat?
Ok, so one thing I’m terrible at is describing the taste of food, so I’ll try my best: it has more flavour than beef, but it’s delicate flavour and doesn’t taste gamey. It has a shitload of iron. In my experience the taste changes a lot depending on the cut, more than beef, but to be honest, the vast majority of the time I eat horse meat, it’s in the form of raw, ground meat.
I was just saying this to my wife yesterday!
Yeah, if I still lived in the US, I think I’d be ordering the chicken for the time being. Just say “Neigh” to Trump’s mystery meat.
And get salmonella? I think I’d go veggie, better for .e and the planet too.
If you’re looking to avoid salmonella, I have bad news about the veggies in the US.
But I take your point about a vegetarian diet being more sustainable. I’m slowly moving in that direction.
Soylent Green is PEOPLE!!
Wild horses slaughtered = mystery beef.
grade F general purpose meat
now with more horse parts
(only used non diseased parts of diseased animals)
Can’t be worse than not eating meat apparently
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.
Why not cheese?
Cows are forcibly brought into this world to suffer as much for dairy farming as they are for meat production.
https://www.earthsave.ca/blog/dairy-or-beef/
https://www.dominionmovement.com/watch
And like beef production, the environmental impacts of the dairy industry are significant, although not quite as bad as beef. But totally unnecessary for human beings to consume.
I make my own cheese, using my own milk. Where is your vegan God now?
How much milk do your tits produce that you can regularly make cheese from it?
How much milk do your tits produce that you can regularly make cheese from it?
Tits?
Just what organ do you produce milk with exactly?
There is no vegan god. There’s only the animals that have no voice, and you exploit them as if you’re entitled to their bodies. You treat living beings like property. Not even our distant hunter gatherer ancestors did that, in a context where they had no choice in order to survive. Animals were respected for the nutrition they provided.
There is zero respect to the autonomy of an animal in an modern context where we have zero need for animal exploitation.
You don’t need cheese to survive. Those who don’t see the intersectionality between human and non-human exploitation; I question whether they really understand anti-exploitation at all.
So in the end you answer only to your own conscience. And yes, how we treat non-human animals reflects how we treat one another. We can evolve beyond violent simians, or we can stay stuck in our base impulses.
You can do want you want, but at least pause on a daily basis and reflect you were fortunate enough not to be born an animal destined for human exploitation.
What animals are you talking about? I consent to using my own milk to produce cheese.
You know what? I missed that you’re making cheese from your own breast milk.
I read that as, “I make my own cheese (from cows milk).”
Whether you were trolling or not carry on! My brain didn’t register it because it’s not a sentence I often see.
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.
