Or maybe because they have standards and we don’t
Has this man seen the state animals are in? Factory farming? What an idiot.
We can’t sell corn to India. We can’t sell rice to Asia.
This part is hilariously stupid because there isn’t a block of those exports. It’s a block on genetically modified foods. These countries have a lot of common sense policies concerning the sale of GMOs because they do not want to get stuck in the monoculture death spiral that the US agricultural sector is stuck in.
Why in the world do we let these people sell their cars? 94% of cars in Japan are made in Japan.
This is another stupid one. The Japanese don’t like idiotically massive cars. Which is 90% of what American carmakers sell.
I lived in Japan for several years and wholeheartedly second this. I had a later model Nissan Skyline that was roughly the size of a Camry and that thing was too big for the cities.
I love how GMO foods pose one of the greatest dangers to our species’ continued well-being and survival, but not in way because of the genetic modification, but because of the ability for corporations to patent life itself and control who gets to grow it or not.
Meanwhile, you ask most average grocery shoppers if they would eat GMO vegetables and they will shriek in horror like it’s going to make them grow dicks out of their elbows.
What’s unbelievable is that a grown man, forget someone in the Presidential line of succession, talks like this.
They hate our beef because our beef is beautiful and theirs is weak.
Which wave of feminism is this /s
“They hate our beef because our beef is beautiful and theirs is weak.”
Logic’s not so strong with this one, eh?
Sounds like Trump personally wrote the taking points in crayon.
That’s not true. He ate all the crayons before he wrote anything.
Every American thing I’ve tasted has been absolutely vile compared to even the cheapest things in Europe. I really feel bad for US citizens who have lived their whole lives with shit like that.
It’s unbelievable how much better it is overseas compared to US.
The wild thing is that we do have access to it here, there are small farms growing quality produce and heirloom varieties not available in Europe. But that’s not what gets sold in supermarkets in population centers. The problem is in the middlemen and marketing, all unregulated for profit from crap.
Our food is garbage. It’s all engineered to be fast growing, so it has no time to develop flavor and take up natural nutrients. The result is flavorless, empty food.
Man, you’d think itd be cheap, with the quantity over quality game were running
The good news is, for us prepper types, is that proteins are looking to have a good, if short, crash in prices in the coming weeks or couple months as export orders dry up. They’ll drop just to break even on the immediate costs, then go back up again as farms scale back their operations to accommodate the decreased demand, raising costs back up again, except at that point, it’ll likely be higher as there’s no real “buffer” of producing more for exports and there’s an overall smaller count of source animals.
Now’s a good time to get a chest freezer (or a second one) and get it ready to stock up.
You are for getting about the corporate greed aspect of it. It will never be cheap if they think they can charge more for it.
European beef is very sophisticated.
The cows go “Meaux”
Nova Scotia lobster is awesome and there will be lots to go around this year since we won’t be sending much stateside or to China.
I’d suggest Alberta beef as well but fuck Danielle Smith.
I try my best to buy as locally as possible.
It doesn’t matter how beautiful that beef is, I won’t let that sweet sexy attractive beef blind me from buying local when possible.
Gee, it’s almost like he’s intentionally being an asshole to achieve a specific reaction he wants
The thing that gets me about the Trump Admin is how all his spokesgremlins sound like they stepped off a Middle School playground. We’ve gone from “Newspapers are written at a 6th grade reading level” to “Public policy is implemented by 6th graders who just discovered what a bully is”.
Spokesgremlins… I like that!
spokesgremlins, spokesgoblins, spokesorcs, spokesgelitaniouscubes
Honestly asking, what reaction do you think he is looking for?
I can understand (and believe) these assholes are all evil and greedy at a cartoon villain level, but I simply cannot understand what is the goal here. All I see is stupidity running rampant
Absolute isolationism with nationalistic delusions of grandeur
Basically, North Korea
But don’t they realize that North Korea is a broken dump? why would they want to be kings of that when they are already Oligarchs of an actual rich nation?
Not asking you to make them make sense… I am just at a lost for logic here
Because even oligarchs aren’t kings.
There’s always another goalpost.
They do realize that, they don’t see what they want as that tho. This guy is too stupid for that, and he himself is not a oligarch
They probably think that couldn’t possibly happen to their country because they think they’re better than North Koreans
im convinced this guy has actual brain damage.
that’s my occam’s razor
Pffff haha Hahaha haha ha…
Oh wait, he’s serious.
HAHA HAHAHAHA HAHA HAHA!!
America has the food standards of a third world country. That place literally allows cancer giving chemicals in their food simply because people aren’t dying fast enough from them.
The US is several third-world countries in a trenchcoat, supported by a few first-world countries within it so it doesn’t collapse, cosplaying as a single first-world country.
If the US broke up into multiple countries many states would be poorer than really poor countries. I won’t tell you which…
And one single state would be 4th in the GDP rank (it is 5th right now)
If anything the US is now second world given the tenancy to bend the knee to Putin.
“What do you mean this chicken is rotting??”
pours bleach everywhere
“What did I tell you, see? Zero bacteria!”
Please keep their foodstuffs away… 🤢
Hey, common… my third world country has much higher standards!
We need a new category unique to America. They can feel exceptional in their mediocrity.
A negative world country?
A turd world cuntry.
I try to go by the book “Food Rules” by Michael Pollan. The book basically tells Americans to eat like the rest of the world does, which isn’t easy here with all of the oversized portions of “edible food-like substances” as the book describes.
I like when they talk like toddlers, it’s clear as day they are distracting the topic at hand, much like their IQ
It’s hard to know wether they talk like that because of their voter base, or they have that voter base because they talk like that…
but your beef isn’t beautiful na na na…
America won’t buy our corn and guns!
Why won’t America buy our corn and guns?
Oh, because they make their own and they’re fucking thousands of miles away.
what’s the worst that can happen to chicken in a couple thousand miles from a country of origin with no regulations
You don’t want 10-day aged chicken?
Or maybe you want 10-day aged chicken that has been processed in a way that the 10 days of aging doesn’t change the chicken - instead of usual aging processes that enhance meats (well, red meats)
They do buy our guns - they go crazy for ČZ pistols (made in a little shithole country called Czech Republic)
in my experience from a decade ago Czechia was a delightful place to visit and the people were very kind and helpful.
We are delightful! Helpful? Sometimes haha. Glad you enjoyed your visit!
In fairness they probably don’t actually know that. They’re obsessed with AKs for example but most Americans probably don’t know where they’re from.
You know, that’s exactly what I’ve said, every single time I’ve eaten beef, anywhere in Europe…“What weak beef! I bet that cow couldn’t have done more than 20 push-ups. I can actually taste that a 2-hour run would have taken that cow the better part of an hour.”
🙄
