I think 10-20% even cares where it comes from. Rest buy what is cheapest without looking at label. Fruits and vegetables have come out of area for decades in off seasons. Why would beef be any more of a safety concern especially since it is cooked vs fruits and vegetables. Food independence should be number one priority for this country along with medicine and other vital supplies. I do not agree with the importing of staple foods. Beef is not that high priced and there is plenty of other protein sources that can be had if beef doesn’t fit your budget. All the junk that fills a house I could care less where it is from and if it is tariffed 200%. Get essentials back home.
I think you are right. My wife kept coming home with meat that had a sticker on it that said "grass fed". Marketing really works on people. I asked her why she bought that. Meat guy (know nothing about beef) told her it was a higher quality. I started laughing. I asked her if it was cheaper. She said no, more. Stuff was like eating a shoe. Personally, I think cool is a joke. Think people who can't go to the dentist, fix their car or pay rent care where it comes from? Plus yesterday on an ag talk station, they were interviewing a representative from the Argentina beef producers and he said along the lines (not a quote), that us beef guys have nothing to worry about. Their (Argentina) beef is so much higher quality that only higher end restaurants and hotels will buy it. The average citizen in the US will settle for the lower grade beef grown in the US. Thought that was a little arrogant. |
