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.

European beef is very sophisticated.

Those evil Europeans like quality. But not American, only real quality.

American animal "farms" are a dirty and unhygienic mess, and the fact that people still eat their products in the US makes people elsewhere cringe in horror. I love to shock Americans with "Mettbrötchen", a crispy roll with raw, minced pork meat. Perfectly safe to eat here. But people who are used to washed.eggs and chlorinated chicken recoil in horror to something like that.

"they hate it because its beautiful" makes absolutely no fucking sense. these people need to be laughed at to their face. (among other things)

Trumps words coming out of a sycophants mouth. How stupid do you have to be that trumps way of putting it is better than what you can come up with yourself.

I don't mind the statement behind the post, but was there really no other medium for the post than the Trumpist NYPost? This is the same media that supposedly wants to ask 10 questions about the tariffs in an article to defend them, and then asks questions like should Trump keep 12 million illegal refugees in the country like Biden?

What does this question have to do with legitimising the tariffs? No idea, ask the brainwashed journalists at the NYPost.

I thought this was a joke until I read Lutnick's name

American is the worst food in the whole world. Its better to go hungry than partaking in the excesses of highly processed american diet. Go to any supermarket and check the ingredients of american food and you will find stuff like malto dextrose, inverse sugar, dyglycerides, corn starch and high fructose syrup. All of these are rubbish ingredients which pollutes your body and makes you addicted. Stay away from american food for your own health. Buy EU/Canada/India/China/SEA etc but do not touch american products.

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.

Article is from NY Post which is basically Goebbels Press

I've eaten beef all over the world. US beef is nothing special.

[–] snuggledick@lemm.ee 21 points 5 days ago

It's special in that it's full with antibiotics and growth hormones.

[–] megopie@beehaw.org 5 points 4 days ago

Beef is a lot more expensive in Europe in my experience, but is also of a much higher quality. You can get an equivalent quality in the US but you’ll have to go to a specialty butcher or a farmers market and it will be more expensive than an equivalent cut in Europe.

And frankly the cheap stuff in the US is still too expensive for me to make it a regular part of my diet. So, if I’m going to have it, it’ll be a treat, and I may as well buy the better stuff in that case.

Even as a Canadian I avoid American meat as much as possible when buying groceries.

I've never seen belittling people get them to change their minds, but I have seen conservative attempt it hundreds of times.

And then they say at the end, "there is some evidentiary basis" for that idiot's statement... our food is terrible and that's why nobody else wants it. Many of us don't even want it. But since this is the "land of the free", we have basically no choice. I hate this place so much
