Is there really going to be a meat shortage in the United States soon?

corn/grain fed causes them to be tumor riddled garbage
grass fed pastured is the way to go, like nature intended

Yes. A general food shortage actually. 2-3 weeks away. Gonna last a long time too, probably till 2021.

How

sounds legit 3 me

were literally all gonna die its all over now
RIP earth

look BEYOND MEAT

Likely. Supply chain is disrupted and farmers are killing their own stock cause they can't be slaughtered and processed fast enough.

It won't be bad, but right now I would suggest buying more than you need and vac-sealing and freezing most of it. Also stock up on canned meats like tuna, chili, and chicken/spam if you can stomach it.

Second the butcher aisles are empty again, all the canned shit is going to fly off the shelves.

yea definitely, a food shortage just flew over my house.

kek carnivores rekt

wait, no mexicans to pick vegetables either ;_;

i'd be willing to agree third world shit holes might face a food shortage, but we(united states) can easily out spend the rest of the world on food

i'll trade you a can of spam for your wife user

You can honestly taste it too. Raised in SoCal so I was raised some pretty shitty Monsanto(tm) brand corn fed nonsense. First time I had a pasture raised grass fed NY strip it was like seeing God.

Ah yes, the country that throws away more food than it consumes will starve in 2 weeks. Profound stuff user

Reminds me of how there was a quinoa shortage in Peru, where it's a staple food, because American hipsters were buying it all lol we'll be fine

Yes. Americans will be forced to eat a healthy diet. There will be blood.

Meat is not unhealthy and there is no junk food shortage ahead.

Of course meat isn't unhealthy. It's all about the balance though. Most Americans eat too much meat.

I really don't get the current situation. My understanding is that lots of farmers are literally throwing more food away than normal because they can't sell to restaurants right now.

Sure that makes sense, but people are still eating, they're just cooking at home. To me this seems to indicate that restaraunts are really the biggest wasters of food and don't buy properly. I remember in high school I worked in a restaurant and we'd always have multiple garbage cans full of food every night.

Why are restaurants like this?

I always figured they threw it out because it just isn't profitable to give it away (or would cost more money to give it away then just throwing it in the dumpster).

I mean yes that is true, but it makes me wonder why restaurants buy so much in the first place. I know you can't totally predict what people order, but this whole situation just makes me realize how fucked up our food economy is.

It's so decadent, I mean, restaurants are arguably at their peak right before this happened in terms of quality of ingredients, diversity of food choices, and innovation with gastronomy. Over the past 15 years there has been truly gourmet food in every city in America at affordable prices.

But it's not natural. Food should go back to being more seasonal. You shouldn't be able to have super fresh strawberries and fruits in the winter for example. It seems to me this is a huge reckoning and an example of the failures of factory farming methods, whether with meat or vegetables and fruits.

To me it seems like small local family farms are better prepared to weather this, and will emerge more resilient

it just all seems like such an obvious punishment for our hubris

>farmers are literally throwing more food away than normal because they can't sell to restaurants right now.
And giving it away would reduce demand to buy food

In the Netherlands we have too much meat apparently. Too much food in general and nowhere to export it right now.
