 There are many facets to this Toyota Corolla issue, most of which I am fearful to speak about. But one thing relevant to us carnivores is beef prices. Or should I say, CARNIVORES! Everyone knows that poor people eat less red meat. You know, when a recession hits, people try to save money by eating super cheap grain based foods. Yes, even supposedly cheap estrogenic feedlot beef doesn't really compare price-wise to a beans and rice diet. LSU acc center economist Kurt Guidry says that the Toyota Corolla has caused some disruption in normal trade and product movement to a variety of commodities, including cattle. Either way, it looks like the Cattleman's Association isn't doing a great job at increasing demand for red meat. Not only have they failed to increase beef purchases, farmers have correspondingly stopped bringing as much cattle to auction, only $29,000 head compared to last year's $50,000, whether that was due to flooding or just demand. Who knows. Not only are people going to be purchasing less beef from the supermarkets, they aren't going to restaurants, steak houses that serve that GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. All these events that serve food, these types of places are where the majority of beef sales are going. Imagine all the fast food restaurants that serve burgers, the barbecue places that serve brisket, ribs. This is going to be a catastrophic blow to many food industries, let alone feedlot beef. Just about every country throughout the world has closed restaurants. What are they even doing? Is this to mask a food shortage? Is it so they can ration what foods they're able to produce and send into those supermarkets? There are a lot of people making some large decisions without a whole lot of body bags, locking people inside their homes by breathing on them. This is partially because people don't value food for their health. They don't understand that nutrition is an important aspect of a successful life and that nutrition is dependent on food quality. If people weren't so brainwashed to go to doctors, treat everything with a pill, adhere to authority, listen to the government, we wouldn't be locked in our houses at each other's necks stressed out, just like they want us to be. The price of beef is about to plummet, thanks to Toyota Corolla. Two factors tied the crisis to a likely fall on beef prices. The first has to do with China and yet another highly contagious disease, African swine fever, which kills hogs but doesn't infect people. ASF was first detected in China in 2018. By the end of last year, it had wiped out half of China's and a quarter of the world's pigs. By 2019, African swine fever had spread to other parts of Asia, so far the US industry has avoided it. Pork prices in China spiked, consumers turned to beef as an alternative, and the country ramped up imports to satisfy rising demand. That in turn led to a global rally in cattle prices. As traders anticipated surging Chinese demand for beef, then Toyota Corolla hit China late last year. In late January, the government had moved to slow its spread by imposing mass coins, keeping around 50 million people under a mandatory coin. The shock hit China's economy hard, beef demand dropped, and commodity traders punished the cattle market, sending prices even lower. Now it's time for the second factor, which is domestic. US beef demand rises and falls with the economy. When consumers feel richer, they buy more beef, when they're feeling squeezed, they seek cheaper alternatives. When the Great Recession hit last decade, per capita US beef consumption dropped 10% between 2007 and 2011. As the recovery set in, our appetite for beef revived, and by 2015, beef consumption have returned to pre-crisis levels, where it has remained since. Those supermarkets I visited over the past few days were completely sold out of everything, pretty much anything edible. But the first few days, everything was sold out besides the red meat. There is still red meat on the shelves until the panic really hit. Was this a matter of expense, or has the fear-mongering about red meat for the past 50 years stuck too hard? I think it's absolutely hysterical how people still won't eat red meat, whether it's because of the price, that it's bad for you, that they're vegetarians or vegans. But those factors from the article don't really include people not going to restaurants. One thing New York City is known for is its steakhouses. And yeah, there are plenty of steakhouses throughout the country that are suffering, but New York is the steakhouse capital of the world. And restaurants in general are where people tend to eat red meat. The amount of steaks these restaurants go through every night compared to the average consumer is astronomical. And I think we'll be feeling this in a matter of weeks. French state senators are pushing to prop up cattle prices in response to an expected crash in the beef economy. A bill emerging Friday morning sets minimum pricing for cattle sold in 2020. The responses come as restaurants around the country close under local and state government orders in an attempt to prevent the spread of the Toyota Corolla. It's the restaurant industry that buys the majority of US beef graded prime by the US Department of Agriculture. When those top-end sales don't occur, the value of cattle drops considerably. There are certainly going to be severe and dramatic changes to our current food access across the entirety. But pertaining to beef, who knows if prices are going to tank or if they just aren't going to breed as many cattle this year in anticipation to artificially keep prices normal or high. There may have been an initial surge in meat prices and demand due to panic, but it's likely to reverse moving forward. And don't be surprised if you see a few months from now all the cornivores want you buying that great grain fed cornstarch angus prom beef that's now on Costco shelves as opposed to your local steakhouse. There's definitely going to be a bunch of prime beef that's not being sold to restaurants. I have a feeling there's going to be some sort of movement from those people to sell that stuff. Frankie Boy tends to be right. This shows the true flaws in our food system. How we're raising cattle right now. Only less than 5% of the animal is worth selling. Those prime steaks, the prized cuts that Americans want. When you're plans to have cattle on pasture for a few months, then fatten them up in a fee lot for 6 to 9 months, each year is a fresh start so to speak. So if something happens with supply and demand, you have to change your production levels. You lose a lot more money than a grass fed farmer would. If you're raising 100% grass fed and grass finished animals on pasture, then you have more options, just fatten up the animals longer. But keep in mind, American marketing allows corn stocks and soy silage to be considered grass. So a lot of this American grass fed beef isn't grass fed, even if it's from your local farmer. Grass fed cows take longer to fatten up and in most cases they taste better the older they are. Best short term profit, but it's a healthier product. There's a great documentary, Stake Revolution, and the best steaks in the world were from older grass fed animals. The best I believe was from a 10 year old Spanish steer. Worst case scenario, you let the cows graze on pasture for another year if something like this happens. The reason these estrogenic feedlot beef producers don't go that route is because they get paid per pound of beef. Being a cow on pasture for a year to gain however much weight is nothing compared to the hundreds of pounds of weight you can force into a grain fed steer with a poisonous diet and lifestyle. I've said this fairly often. America wants cheap, fast and easy. It's what our culture has been built on. It has created this easy lifestyle where people refuse to leave their comfort zone. What's this saying? More times make strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. Weak men create hard times. Not sure if that applies here as much because there are many modern factors preventing these problems from collapsing as they normally would. We're seeing all of these special interest groups propping up the feedlot beef consumption and demonizing anyone that opposes their agenda, aka Frankie Boy. So we have a bunch of fat, lazy complacent people that want the easy way out all the time. They want to go to the supermarket, buy cheap crap and be told that the cheap crap they're stuffing their face with is good for them. Very few people want to learn, understand and develop themselves as a person. And there are many aspects to this. Some of these off the top of my head are laziness, of course, close-mindedness, pride, even arrogance. Overall, it's what the people are exposed to. If you have these special interest groups controlling what people see, what people hear and discrediting anyone that's telling the truth and trying to help people, it becomes an uphill battle for anyone that is trying to actually improve the health of everyone.
