It's coming from a country where his family has stock in said companies.
My money is on "ICE detention centers".
Protein-rich, Prion-rich, sounds all the same to me!
Sure as fuck won't be Canada.
Would be funny if someone with credibility started claiming that they eat the cats and dogs
Okay, but consider how this will lower beef prices
Who did the beef farmers vote for again?
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.
Argentinian beef was recently turned away from China for being contaminated.
Hmmm......
I think it was Brazilian beef
The Brazilian beef ban in the EU hasn't even started yet.

Save this bad meat for free Big Macs for you know who.
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.
Here's the video https://youtu.be/FB2scx_UmfI
We used to be a proper country. Oh wait we weren’t. It’s just a sheer cliff
Well, trump knows a guy, and he's the best beef farmer ever. He knows everything about how to plant beef seeds and line pools. Folks, can you believe it?
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.
Wow that "took place" in 2022 lol. Kinda weird they might not be that far off soon.
Don't worry, one of his crotch-spawn will start a business with taxpayer money that he used taxpayer money to artificially destroy supply.
Argentina and some from Brazil
Uruguay exports a lot of meat too, do it could be going front there too
Wonder where all those wild horses ended up...
Or all those people who have disappeared from the concentration camps in florida
Humans taste like pork (generally speaking), and we cannot pass for beef.
Inb4 the mcrib is back
It's al roadkill
Soylent beef.
If you told me that ICE were cannibalizing people for this, I wouldn't be surprised.
Just like the last time we imported beef after costs ran high, it will do nothing to reduce the prices you see at the grocery store. The American beef industry focuses on different priorities when growing cattle for sale at grocery stores compared to most other countries. The American beef industry focuses primarily on higher end steaks, not lean trim. The imported beef will almost certainly be used elsewhere in industry, with little to no change to the prices you see as a consumer on the types of beef at the store.
I feel like this is going to end like Soylent Green…
Zippy Duvall
I ask this in good faith and in earnest search of an honest answer: are you shitting me with that fucken Ringling Bros. ass name?
Honestly, I'm not surprised at all that a good ol' boy farmer from Georgia would have a nickname like that. Dude even looks like I imagined he would.
Compare:
Vincent Mearl "Zippy" Duvall Sr.

Uncanny, ain't it?
"I am having fun" lmao
...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.
I'll happily remind you that of that voterbase, there is 71+ million people.
That's a lot of idiots to overcome.
Beef recall incoming
I made the switch to ground turkey, and I suggest you all do the same unless you want to be an FDA recall statistic.
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
It makes me a little happy every time news like these pop up. The USA is completely fucked and ut was about time. Their power and influence was nowhere near deserved and it was getting really dangerous for the whole world, like a monkey with a nuclear switch.
WHERE’s THE BEEF (from)?
