    I try hard to believe that the meat that I eat grew on vines rather than having once been a living creature not all that different from myself.

    This takes wondering what the food itself once ate completely out of the picture.

    Maybe I mixed up Holstein with Hereford. All I remember is it was tougher than Angus yet possibly the best beef steak I ever ate.

    I was watching a YouTube recently, it is made by and for folks who want to buy a side of beef.....they had all the results wrapped weighed and on tables.

    There was a lot of ground beef.

    Understanding the collapse of SVB. Let's say you're a small creamery or organic beef ranch with all your money in SVB. When SVB goes bankrupt, so will these family owned businesses. Corporatists move in to buy them for pennies on the dollar. Biden has been part of our corrupt system for 50 years.

    Why do you think Biden was selected?

    Blazing Onion is a small? burger chain that I kinda like....they use Painted Hills ground beef, they are the people who for instance promise that their cows will never move more than 45 mph or whatever because they care about their cows gosh darn it!

    I almost never think that expensive ground beef is worth it.

    Actually I just decided that I need to go again....I did not know that they opened in Tacoma Mall....my wife and I have been trying to think of place we want to go.

    And she always goes for burgers.

    Braciole with a side of greens and baby potatoes is another way to cut back on beef. Garlic bread is a must to dip in the sauce. It's an old peasant dish from when poor folk couldn't afford beef. What's old is new again.

    Beef demand is incredibly strong. Good says that last year we had the highest per capita U.S. beef consumption in 12 years at 58 pounds. Still, in the face of that supply we also had record retail beef prices at $7.35 per pound. Higher prices amid higher supplies can only mean one thing: demand for quality beef is surging.

    I suggest that you fill a freezer now......the WOKE are serious about making beef a rare treat only for those with good social credit scores.

    EDIT: The quote is wrong, the link explains that supplies are going down, a lot.

    I just got some really good well trimmed choice NY STRIPES for $12/lb at Costco.

    I almost never now leave my oasis to shop...the WIFE handles that (she likes it). Today was a rare trip to pick steaks (she has never learned to do it well) and wine, another thing she is not good at.

    It was an interesting adventure, only the second time in a year+ I have been to Costco.

    Beef has sort of priced itself out of the food budgets for most American families these days.

    I see people looking at it at the Grocery markets, but then just pass it by, after the sticker SHOCK!

    I've cut back on it myself, but still spoil myself with a nice Rib-Eye about once a week.

    The Steak Houses are still full around here though.

    Perhaps when the outdoor grills get fired up around here again, it will start to sell a little better.

    I think Biden is on the right track by trying to gin up new competition for the Giant 4 Slaughter Houses and their monopoly though.

    And the Cattle Ranchers are with him on this.

    It's a catch 22 with Beef. The price of beef will never come back down again until more people start buying it again, and while most people won't be buying it again until the price becomes affordable again.
