Rules:
- The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
- Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
- For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
- Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.

The best part is that it's not going to hurt those farmers at all. What it will affect is the quality of beef for the average consumer, since they're probably getting much lower grade or even rejected meat other countries don't want. So still getting faces eaten, but it's not the farmers. If you want an example of very thorough welfare, look at agriculture. Yet they're the loudest shouting.
I forgot where I read it, but it's tainted beef not even China or Argentina wants. Literally the food poisoning administration.
Uk still filtering out mad cow disease? Might as well add more air to american brains.
How is it not going to hurt those farmers? Is there too much demand?
For one, there's more than hamburger demand which is what this import is about. Higher grade cuts which from what I understand is what a large part of US beef is used for. But really second is the safety nets for all agriculture from the government. They can fail totally (which again, they won't) and they'll get welfare help. Like the rest of the public should be getting, but apparently ~~would take away from the wealthy and the warhawks~~ is too costly.
Welfare help, what is this, communism? 🙃
It's full of an ugly chemical.
It's okay, the FDA will protect us from... no? They won't? Well great.
