Damn, China must be hella pissed to go, “and fuck yo’ pork too!”
It’s okay America, you have a bacon loving neighbor to your nor… Oh you pissed them off too, huh
Well if it makes pork cheaper in the US, at least we’ll have one cheap affordable protein, cause chicken keep rising and beef is turning hamburger helper in to fancy food for special occasions.
Prediction: the price of meat will continue to rise and will never be this cheap again
Legumes are the best protein
No they aren’t. Mostly because legumes are incomplete proteins, while chicken is a complete protein, and that animal protein is more easily digestible and absorbed than plant based protein.
Claiming legumes is the best protein is one of those lies that vegans claim. There’s plenty of real reasons to go animal free, but all the baseless crap that vegans claim isn’t doing them any favors.
Here’s a fact, though. All the fields with beans and lettuce and all the veggies have thousands of little mice and birds and rabbits that live in them. Thousands are killed from the farm equipment.
Hempseed is a complete protein. That’s what Scrooge was eating in A Christmas Carol. Mostly because it was the absolute cheapest thing he could eat that would barely meet all his needed nutrients. Apparently gruel is hempseed porridge.
Gruel isn’t porridge, it’s thinner. And though it has, on occasion, been made from hempseed, it’s more often made of more commonly available cereals such as wheat, barley, oats, rice or rye. That’s because it was a famine food, made from whatever happened to be available that was edible.
Iowa farmers on suicide watch
They should call Trump and get a pep talk then
They get to lay in the bed they made
Is this the fabled “metric fuckton?”
This is a strategic move. China is very publicly telling pork farmers that they are being hurt because of Trump. It also makes it clear that Trump could end their hardship, but won’t.
But why would Biden do this to pork farmers?
Thanks Obama
Like anyone believing the lies of their abuser, they’ll just blame the Chinese for hurting them. Just do what the abuser wants, then everything will be ok. Don’t rock the boat.
That guy I know from high school who adores McRib sandwiches will be stoked.
52 Boeings, 120.000 tons pork … note to self: don’t pick a fight with China
1 million Chinese is a small number.
TIL there are non-metric tons
Yep. Short ton, long ton, and metric tonnes
Don’t forget fucktons and shittons.
Get ready for bacon as a meme again and 3-for-a-dollar ham sandwiches.
The headline is a bit misleading or at least ambiguous. But these are US pork imports to China, I assume.
EDIT: From the article, "China, behind Mexico and Japan, was the U.S.’s third-biggest market for pork in 2024, importing some 475,000 metric tons valued at more than $1.1 billion. "
These are US exports to China.
There is a lot of American pork (and some beef) in supermarkets here in Japan. I get mine from Costco which, at least for loins, is Canadian pork. Beef, of the non-wagyuu variety, tends to be Australian or American. Chicken is typically domestic in my experience.
Awesome. The torture/murder of animals is fundamentally evil and literally destroying the planet.
Pick a better time to fight the vegan fight, we’re watching some leopards eating some faces here. (It doesn’t need to be every part of your personality)
China has a strategic reserve of pork in a mountain somewhere that it will have to dip into while it finds new suppliers, so really think about those particular living conditions.
THOSE SWINE!
12 million kg of pork. So that’s like one breakfast for China.
