Damn, China must be hella pissed to go, “and fuck yo’ pork too!”
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?”
The title is misleading, China has canceled those pork shipments TO the US.
That guy I know from high school who adores McRib sandwiches will be stoked.
Get ready for bacon as a meme again and 3-for-a-dollar ham sandwiches.
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.
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.
Beans and rice together make a complete protein. And it’s plenty easy to digest them if you try - one good way to make it easy is to cook your rice and beans prior to eating them.
And it grows you a lil muffintop
I don’t mean physically eating them or shitting them out. Humans absorb and use animal based protein more than plant based protein.
That doesn’t mean its any more or less healthy. There are hundreds of millions of vegetarians. And there are maybe a few thousand manosphere influenced carnivores. Guess which population is actually going to be healthy for the long term.
The ones who exercise and don’t overconsume calories. That vegans live longer is a biased mislead because people who become vegans are on average more health conscious people. When pitted against health conscious people who also eat meat, that vegan advantage completely disappears.
Also, while biased due to the low percentage of vegans that exist, the vast majority of the world’s centenarions do consume eating some meat, and no data currently shows that vegans on average live longer. The biggest factors are genetics, lifestyle, activity, etc.
Prediction: the price of meat will continue to rise and will never be this cheap again
TIL there are non-metric tons
Yep. Short ton, long ton, and metric tonnes
Don’t forget fucktons and shittons.
The headline is a bit misleading or at least ambiguous. But these are US pork imports to China, I assume.
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.
The other way around, these are exports from China
Why on Earth would China export pork to us? They eat way more than we do.
EDIT: No, I’m definitely right
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.
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.
But why would Biden do this to pork farmers?
Thanks Obama
Awesome. The torture/murder of animals is fundamentally evil and literally destroying the planet.
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.
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)
THOSE SWINE!
12 million kg of pork. So that’s like one breakfast for China.
If you calculate about 200 gr for one meal, it would make one breakfast for 60 million people. Not even one tenth of the population.
Feed the old commercial districts of bigtown USA.
52 Boeings, 120.000 tons pork … note to self: don’t pick a fight with China
1 million Chinese is a small number.
