Theres is much export from Australia and Brazil right now. I remember when Canada had its mad cow moment my grandfather said he would have gladly accepted 2k for a whole cow as it was currently priced at 1200 due to the disease. That was 2003

yeah, it's seriously messed up
only people who have been in these old trad diet places and then traveled elsewhere would understand it.
the "meat" i see on offer in europe, with the exception of maybe former yugoslavia, is all filled out with water and whatever random salts and chemicals, like this chicken i bought recently, so fricking wet that it doesn't brown properly, and causes the tallow i fry in to spit so much that half the tallow ends up on the walls nearby and burning me.
