The US imported a record-breaking amount of fresh beef from Brazil in 2022. In January 2022 alone, imports reached nearly 100 million pounds—a more than 500 percent increase relative to the same month a year earlier—with fresh beef accounting for 83 million pounds, according to USDA.

Glad I stopped eating beef, even burgers some yrs ago but regret that I cannot shame my hubby and son into giving it up. They must buy it themselves because I refuse to.

Saving cattle = saving a forest.

Thanks for this thread, Judi.

Incredible amount of beef. I think the world is moving away from eating so much of it, too. Judi Lynn Jun 2023 #4
