Food Prices

[Puggles]

I heard something recently that Trump is going to be importing beef from Argentina. So that might bring down prices. I have no idea the quality of Argentinian beef, but I don't think there would be any problems with it. How do you even do that? Do you just literally send a bunch of cargo ships with thousands of cattle on them to different parts of the U.S.?

Argentina does very good beef!

Sounds like insurance... It never goes down.

Our car insurance did this time, like $4. Woo-hoo!

Doubtful. I imagine the extraneous weight would be removed to reduce shipping costs.

I know a lot of people will not agree with me on this, but I do think chicken and egg prices place very little value on the lives of the chickens themselves and I personnally have no issues with the prices going up, if the conditions for animals/birds etc improves. It has always been the factory farming and how little value humans place on the lives of what they eat, that has been the reason for me being vegetarian since I was 11.

That would be wonderful if higher prices meant the chickens were treated better, but I seriously doubt that's where the additional money will go.

They'll process in Argentina. Like medtran49 said they'll only be shipping the "sellable parts", the quarters.

Argentinian beef is exceedingly good, so you won't have a problem with the quality.

Sadly yes. It is one of the reasons that Australia is banning live exports: the conditions on those ships are awful.

I watch for sale price when I go shopping, so far food prices have been steady for me. Some items are higher like beef, but I dont eat beef regularly.

Buy on sale and stock up, that’s the way!
