Trump said he’s going to allow 300 metric tons of beef to enter our country without tariffs, but he won’t tell us where it’s coming from. 🤔 Why “ground” beef specifically?

The Chinese would call this "挂牛头,卖马肉” (hang a sign with a cow's head, but sell horsemeat beneath). The Babylonians would call this "shit, Ea-Nasir sold another fool pig copper?"

Am I wrong or does everything on the shelves need to be labeled with a country of origin, whether food, clothing, etc.?

Anyone else read this and get the sneaking suspicion that the 'imported' 'ground beef' could be coming from an alternative domestic source?

I’m pretty sure that chowing down on uninspected ground “beef“ from an unnamed country will be the latest trump fealty test. “Mom, why does my burger have fur?” “Be quiet and eat your trumpburger…” Remember Thenardier in Les Mis? “fillin’ up the sausages with this and that…”

And the farmers are up in arms. Donald is giving the beef sales to foreigners in other countries after deporting 'foreigners' from our country who were helping the farmers. They should figure out that their vote does count and that Donald and his enablers are not their friends.

‘Just don't ask them where the meat comes from.’ John Spartan: Huxley, what's that supposed to mean? Lenina Huxley: Do you see any cows around here, detective? John Spartan: Que es este carne? [What is this meat?] Hamburger Stand Scrap: Este carne es de rata. [This meat is from rats]

And the most recent imports from Argentina weren’t even inspected. Now they are quickly trying to recall them, but won’t say why. Someone got deathly ill, and they refuse to admit it.

Is that where our Wild Mustangs are going? I thought the slaughter of horses for human consumption was illegal in the US? I know it's fed to zoo carnivores & sanctuary / rehab animals.

And since we're currently without a functioning FDA, how do we know it's even safe to eat. He could end up killing off half the country. Why does becoming a vegetarian suddenly feel like a really good idea right now?

*300,000 metric tons. Fun use of AI to figure out this is about 3.5 million cows that are being slaughtered for this amount of meat. Fun fact rushing this much meat to market in 1993 made almost 1000 people sick from ecoli and killed several kids.

This is funny but not funny...How is knowing what horse meat looks like versus beef a thing. When is the mcdonald's and the Diet Coke gonna kick in for god's sake.

I am German and my first tip was Argentine, to help Milei. My biggest concern is food safety after the unknown source. Is this meat controlled? We had here also problems with undeclared meat and it was mostly not well cared for and so a big health risk.

This has nothing to do with Trump stealing cattle from Venezuela, but I've always found it odd how each country claims their local meat is the best. Here in Sweden, Swedish beef is premium-priced and seen as superior. But honestly, what's wrong with Irish cows, given all the year-round green grass?

And it's ground specifically because it tastes the closest to beef and you don't really get steaks off damn horses. When people test this shit and find out, they are gonna flip. It's sad to say my MAGA family would finally turn liberal. They love horses like Gods.

Yep. He sold the wild horses 25 a head to a country that will process them. Since it was sold cheap, it's bought cheap and bypasses the no eating horse laws here. It's why he won't say where it's from. Its no longer legal to eat horse in the U.S. It doesn't taste like beef fyi. Close but no.

Trump is paying $25/head to round up and kill Wild mustangs on BLM land to benefit his billionaire private equity cattle ranchers, who hold leases on public lands. So the horses are sent to Mexico for slaughter, then imported back to the US. That “beef”?????

You can’t believe a word Trump says! I doubt their’s any beef coming. Still waiting for his Republican healthcare and infrastructure week! As always; any transaction Trump and his family participate in results in a payoff to them! So, if by some miracle cheap beef appears, Trump has PROFITED!

Beef trimmings have more exposed surface area, & the grinding process mixes surface bacteria throughout the entire batch, accelerating spoilage & bacterial growth. The "beef trimmings Trump is allowing will be more subject to spoilage than whole cuts. After transporting, it will not be safe to eat.

Saving tons of money not buying beef, salad, eggs, salsa, jalapenos, blueberries, etc… Those boxed cereals and dry goods like noodles and rice sound safer every day. Hard to reduce carb intake, when it’s currently the safer intake. Is this the food conglomerate plan to bring us back to carbs?

It's really getting expensive to pay for the upkeep of all these new prisoners we've rounded up...a modest proposal: maybe they should be contributing to the food supply

For the immense cruelty to animals alone, people should not be eating animals. Horses cows cattle chickens all terrorized, born into an unnatural environment. Fighting to live, dying terrified, then painfully killed. These factory farmed animals are no different from puppies & kittens, dogs & cats.
