I feel slightly out of touch here, what's up with this Trump Mystery Meat?

Also, they've been rounding up wild horses too so we've got that possibility as well as the Argentina tainted beef.

Why would bother with possibly tainted beef if you have horses?

the big orange man wants americans to have government subsidized hamburgers so people think that food costs arent as insane as they are, but he refuses to say where he's getting it from. the general consensus seems to be that he's allowing the import of a bunch of meat that was rejected by other countries for failing to meet quality standards. because that's how you help struggling cattle ranchers, after all.

Word is the mystery meat is all that Argentine beef that was recalled recently.

[–] Jaysyn@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago

The meat was rejected by China due to the high amount of neurotoxic antibiotics they detected in it.

WDYM "that was recalled recently"? How would that work?

Isn't this meat going to be available long term?

I had thought they didn't disclose the origin simply because their abatoirs are not compliant with US standards.

Doesn't need to be available long term, the freedom gas didn't stay cheap either. Just gotta get it into the news cycle for a bit.

Yeah and turns out everyone involved in that operation is kind of a piece of shit, and the fuel was stolen
