Beef is made from plants. Cows eat plants.

So do horses.

We're never going back to the time when brands weren't trying to be one of us, are we

I eat plants.

I am beef.

And people

And lions via the transitive property.

It sounds highly implausible that Argentina would export horse meat as beef to the US. Argentina is a huge beef producer and while they do produce some horse meat it's exported to the EU where there is an actual demand for horse meat and there it's labeled correctly as horse. Why would they export it to the US as mislabeled beef? I have a hard time believing this without evidence. Have I missed something or is this just an unsubstantiated rumour?

Edit:
Apparently snopes did an article about this. They found no evidence of it being true

Horse is beef.

Why would they export it to the US as mislabeled beef?

Does the EU want the full horse or just specific parts? If only specific parts, what happens to the remaining, unwanted ones?

If you mix the extra bits with regular stuff, you get to sell more regular stuff while getting rid of the extra bits cheaper.

We usually don't eat the testicles.

Meat exports are very sensitive and even one small scandal can cause your entire meat exports to be banned all around the globe. It would be far too large of a risk to take even from a strictly economic perspective. In addition to this meat produced for export in Argentina is slaughtered in special export approved slaughterhouses in which the importing country can send inspectors and when it arrives in the importing country it's inspected again. One batch of Argentinian beef recently skipped through import inspection, hence the recall. It was not a failed inspection and nothing has been found to be wrong with the beef.

Wow, I JUST watched this a few hours ago, too. https://youtu.be/cNnIZXO1E1s

I am going to put this in my dating app bios. Thank you

Keep in mind the US is basically getting rid of a bunch of their food and safety regulations right now. Producers and suppliers basically stopped inspecting a bunch of stuff the same day a bunch of regulations were pulled, and now a bunch of our food is already making people sick.

In the Netherlands, the kroketten and bitterballen you buy at a restaurant or bar usually contain about 20% of horse meat. Since this is just small bits and pieces, it can be about any part of the animal. In the past it was in a lot more products, but consumption of horse meat is on a decline.

It's rare and quite inefficient to export whole carcasses. So it would be exported as whole fine cuts and as mince. The organs would most probably go to pet food locally. The mince would not reach EU consumers as mince but rather as sausage or salami. In fact the salami I buy says it contains non eu horse meat on the label which is highly likely to be Argentinian horse.

It could be the meat from the national parks wild horses we are paying extortionate rates to be slaughtered and sold back to us

No you can't.

Next question.

Go away beyondmeat. Potato is talking.

A scandal like this: https://www.msn.com/en-us/food-and-drink/general/china-turned-back-an-argentine-beef-shipment-over-a-banned-antibiotic-and-america-is-about-to-import-more-beef/ar-AA2aMjnx

Its just a meme conflaiting a bunch of horse shit from the idiots running the show.

QED

You can call anything beef. The question is whether you are lying and if it should be illegal in a sales context.

Yes and yes.

Is there traditionally horse in salami? Is it good?

That was my thought as well

Wouldn't all that be a likely reason for the secrecy around where the meat is coming from?

It also feel like some greasy shit this administration would be into

Dude its a joke.

Its funny because it references the mysterious origin of the meat.

Nay

Yeah I think it's good! Horse meat is often more expensive than beef so there is a reason they add it. It's kinda like really lean beef but without that beefy savoriness. Most salami is made with pork as the main ingredient but pure pork can often be a bit flat so by adding beef you can get more of a meat flavor in there. But beef often makes the salami taste beefy and savory in a bad way when combined with fatty pork, like a stew or something. Horse ads that meaty flavor without that distinctive beef savoriness. So you get a salami with a strong meat taste that's still very clean on the palate. I really enjoy it. I have seen more than one brand with horse but to be honest it's quite rare outside the top shelf products.

Is horse traditionally in salami? I don't actually know but I would imagine so. Horse meat taboo is strong in the UK and has been taboo in the UK for apparently hundreds of years and this has spread to other anglo countries. But in the rest of the EU this taboo doesn't really exist.

You know what, they got a point.

Soak in a hot bath for a few hours and make beef stock.

I mean Argentina has more beef than they know what to do with it. The quality of it is another matter.

Funny you should mention that. I just found out I have a slight case of hemorrhoids and apparently that's just the treatment

I choose to believe this is in the same canon as Cash Cab, and he just decided to test our meat's reasoning and recollection ability

The problem isn't that we're going to get horse beef, the problem is that we're going to get wormy beef. Which I think they should lean into rather than the horse angle. Horse meat is no less healthy than cow meat, but nobody wants to eat worms

Yeah. You can question the quality of beef for export, but Argentina has been a beef exporter for over a century so it has the quantity.

I hope Aldi's grass fed beef is safe. And subsidizing Argentina and their failing system, liberated from quality assurance and other pesky democratic things. Understand the food safety laws in the usa and who forced federal action to protect, The People, from greedy companies that literally killed and blinded people.

well cattle eats plants, and that is converted to beef... so...

Jeans?
