Cattle ranchers are making less money in the US despite beef prices at an all-time high. In the meantime, Trump started importing beef from Argentina to lower beef prices, but only achieved to lower cattle prices.

Trump supporting cattle ranchers weren’t happy

    “I’m still a Trump supporter. I’m just not a happy Trump supporter.”

    Anybody who supports trump at this point is either brainless or heartless. Stopped reason after that. That means the guy is either completely uninformed, or he should say “I’m still a pedophile sympathizer”. Ergo, his opinion on the matter is completely worthless.

    Seriously most of these people…ranchers especially…are sitting there like Gilles Fucking Corey yelling out “more face-eating leopards”.

    Y’all need to go vegetarian in protest. Or at least give up red meat. Fuck this guy and fuck his industry.

      I gave up red meat, it’s not that hard. Honestly, I’m hoping the market will take this opportunity to come up with more decent vegan alternatives. I’d like to give meat up altogether but the products that are out there currently are pricier than red meat, ffs.

        This is one reason why I stepped back from veganism after like 6 years and into ovo-lacto.

        The cheese alternatives, especially. You’re paying top-dollar for a sub-par product made by the same Big Food conglomerates. Why give them more money for a worse product. The money still ends up in the same dirty hands, and IMO cheese is way harder to give up than meat or “other dairy”. Other dairy products have come a very, very long way.

        Also fate wound me up with 9 hens and I can’t pass up them eggs.

          Follow Your Heart, which is one of the biggest (and best IMO) for vegan cheese, isn’t owned by another company. Violife is owned by Unilever, but Miyokos was only just bought by Melt Organics. And the only other brands I have seen are all very small brands that are local. So I am not sure why you claim they are owned by “the same Big Food Conglomerates” when Violife is the only one that is true for.

      These people would cut their own arms off if the people they don’t like would also lose a leg as a result.

      Or at least give up red meat.

      The high prices have done that for me, eating more white meat than ever.
