Ranchers and Republicans alike have pushed back on the beef plan
The Trump administration’s beef deal has met with stiff resistance from ranchers and Republicans, who argue that allowing more imports will do little to change the underlying conditions that have sent beef prices spiking, such as low herd sizes because of drought.
"Despite high beef prices in grocery stores, prices paid to farmers and ranchers for their cattle have fallen sharply over the past two months, and beef packing plants are shutting down across the U.S.,” American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall said in a statement after the plan was announced.
"Further undercutting a fragile recovery by swamping markets with foreign products and attempting to manipulate prices threatens to wipe out any progress that has been made,” he added.
WHERE’s THE BEEF (from)?
Probably not entirely from cows.
Worst it come probably from tinted cow from Argentina which is stuck with a fuck load of beef since it didn’t pass inspection in China
Wellll… it does have some rat in it,
Argentina and some from Brazil
Uruguay exports a lot of meat too, do it could be going front there too
“do it could be going front there too”
Words extremely hard, apparently. You should go see a doctor, something’s surely wrong.
I feel like this is going to end like Soylent Green…
…temporarily surge beef imports into the U.S. to ease consumer prices.
In a Truth Social post on Friday, President Trump claimed he had reached a deal to allow up to 300,000 metric tons of meat destined to become ground beef into the U.S. to be sold at reduced prices for the next 90 days without tariffs or quotas. The plan, Trump said, would “substantially lower the price of ground beef for working American families.”
On an entirely-unrelated note, it is 70 days until midterm elections.
The worst part of this is that it’ll probably actually work knowing how fascinatingly stupid the Republican voterbase is.

What’s the timeline for the Argentinian beef contamination to cause illness?
Quick enough to impact the midterms, or just to make Walmart and Kroger beef cheap and get everyone sick afterwards?
It can happen from short exposure or long term. Aplastic anemia and leukemia.
Well fuck.
I made the switch to ground turkey, and I suggest you all do the same unless you want to be an FDA recall statistic.
Beef recall incoming
its from Brazil. 100,000 tons of beef mince was rejected by the EU because it tested to contain numerous banned substances deemed dangerous to European citizens. Trump and co think the grey & brown mush is still ok for americans though.
likely ends up in the lowest bidder of food distribution, prison and school lunches.
There’s a really good video linked in one of the other threads that specifies the type of beef being imported(essentially beef sludge used as filler by fast food restaurants) and highlights a couple of other key points.
The two important ones are that Argentina consumes about 70% of its domestically produced beef and would never have this large of a surplus of beef byproduct in a short amount of time AND that the EU is banning Brazilian beef starting September 3rd due to antimicrobial and antibacterial contamination.
So, it’s likely that the fast food industry is getting cheap contaminated filler to keep margins high while the politicians can claim a win for grocery prices coming down - even though that won’t happen.
I’ll link the video if I can find it.

He won’t talk about it because it isn’t going to end up happening. TACO
Soylent beef.
If you told me that ICE were cannibalizing people for this, I wouldn’t be surprised.
Don’t worry, one of his crotch-spawn will start a business with taxpayer money that he used taxpayer money to artificially destroy supply.
Who did the beef farmers vote for again?
Soylent green, screwflies, sawdust, all seem equally plausible reasons for the source of this “beef”. I ain’t touching anything that the Turd in Chief is dishing out.
There were two large beef orders - one from Argentina, governed by a Trump ally, and one from Brazil - that were denied by the destination countries (China and Europe) due to health concerns.
And just by chance Trump ‘found’ cheap mystery meat of unknown origin…
Don’t eat it. Perhaps you can try to be vegetarian for a while? I would.
