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 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.
