Americans could be cutting steaks and burgers from their diets as inflation soars, if beef-packer profit margins are any indication.
Processors like Tyson Foods Inc. and JBS USA are making the least amount of money per head of cattle slaughtered in more than two years, according to data from HedgersEdge LLC. That’s a sign that demand for the luxury meat is flagging.
Consumers more likely to splurge on steaks and chops when the stock market is up. That’s in doubt as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine pressures markets. Meat prices are part of what’s behind soaring inflation that’s the worst in four decades, and consumers are getting sticker shock.
“On the demand side, the concern is discretionary spending,” said Don Roose, president of brokerage U.S. Commodities Inc. in West Des Moines, Iowa. “Will consumers look to cheaper proteins or will they skip proteins?”

bugs are yummy
its coming
“Slimy, yet satisfying.”
“In 2020, the global elites at WEF told the public to start eating weeds.
The strange diet plan comes from a recent virtual event hosted by the WEF, called Bold Actions for Food as a Force for Good. The WEF highlighted 5 main reasons that you should start grazing on some weeds:
1. They’re easy to grow
2. They can be rich in nutrients
3. We need to diversify our diets
4. They know more about the soil than we do
5. They taste great”
Basically, the North Korean Famine Diet.
Not that certain people here care, but the people pushing this are the SAME PEOPLE who support Ukraine against Russia.
“Hope the 81 million people who voted for this regime are happy!”
As long as they are made to feel intellectual and virtuous, they’ll eat it up... pun intended.
That's quite a broad brush you've got there...
“That’s quite a broad brush you’ve got there...”
...but it’s true.
I could say goodbye to Bloomberg instead.
Didn’t the recent infrastructure bill put some enormous tax on each and every cow? Seems like that might affect beef prices.

Yeah but what about tree bark and grass? Is this some sort of foodie racism?
That’s a hell of an unwarranted assumption. Please.
long pig will be on the menu before we are forced to eat bugs.
“Will consumers look to cheaper proteins or will they skip proteins?”
Essential amino acids:
histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine
Without getting these through eating protein, you will die. Maybe that’s the point.
In the recent episode of Law & Order. Season 21 episode 2 - one of the DA’s actually ordered salted crickets for lunch. I just thought to myself - here we go. Subliminally working us.
“That’s a hell of an unwarranted assumption. Please.”
It’s a big deal to me, as the WEF is clearly trying to take my family’s meat away and seeing them defeated ANYWHERE on this planet can only mean good things.
Oh please!
Nah, get a good book on casseroles, you can stretch a little meat to go a long way. It’s only 2 1/2 years until we get a real president.
41 million people are on food stamps so they can afford the meat the rest of us can’t If they were not overbuying our share we could afford some too. I see it virtually every time I’m in a store.
Don’t forget “Bark, Grass & Mud Sandwiches”...
