Great news for Canadians. Safer AND helps local producers
Good news for Canadian beef farmers. Bad news for Canadian beef consumers.
Consider how polluting beef is compared to other meats, switch to any alternatives would be a good thing anyways.
I think in a global sense maybe but increasing Canadian beef production increases Canadian pollution. As much as higher prices will discourage consumption they will also encourage production.
Except we don’t have to eat shitty US beef. I call that a win.
I don’t know how it is in Canada now but I’m in the US. we stopped importing cattle from Mexico and that raised the price quite a bit. Import ban coupled with fertilizer increases and fuel cost increases has caused beef to go way up in price.
We now get a lot of Australian imports.
You guys are still able to afford beef?
I’ve been cutting down on beef and increasing my vegetarian meals anyway
Could be imported from somewhere safer than Texas, but surely people prefer life / safety than they want a specific meal?
Most people don’t care where their meat comes from. No one is out there ordering Texas specific steaks. Consumers notice when the price goes up. I don’t know the stats for Canada. They may not import much from Texas anyway. I know Canada is already very protective in dairy but I don’t know about beef.
