yeah, they have been systematically destroying the best food sources
beef is very hard to find in europe, and i think mad cow disease was the start of that
only basically USA, maybe parts of canada, australia, and some parts of africa now have big enough herds and the ones in USA are in trouble
in europe almost all the cow meat you find is veal, which is not at all the same thing
ah yes, probably brazil is another place where beef supply is decent, also argentina
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.
