Alas.

Just a faint amount and a bit of olive oil. That's how I roll.

You beat me to it!!!

It's whats for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.

High feed prices due to the drought. Same issue with the cattle.

but my sympathy to carnivores (NOT). So sorry you are going have less beef and higher prices. Maybe you should try going vegetarian. It will be a lot cheaper. Soon there will be less pork and chicken.

Even vegetarians should brace for higher food costs in the coming years. The finite fossil fuels we rely on to run our megafarms aren't gonna get cheaper, the world shows no sign of embracing meaningful population control, the seas are running out of fish, and global warming is only going to get much, much worse in the coming years.

The majority of the world has no choice but to eat other animals to survive. Vegetarianism is fine, but I see no reason to be rude to people who choose to eat meat.

Being a vegetarian and getting enough calories is certainly not cheaper, sorry. I love my fresh fruits and veggies, and unless you have a garden that can sustain you through the year, you pay a pretty penny for veggies. At least I do around here.

Beef prices will probably increase this summer. As that happens, herd sizes should increase IF there is not another year of drought in the corn belt.

Says it's a good bet we will see another year of drought in the Midwest this year.

fewer cows will mean less beef and higher prices coming down the line for consumers.

no longer affordable. As I read down the thread Alternatives to cattle were mentioned but they all end up eating grains that are also short.

Canada in particular sends us a lot of beef, which we process.

Less BSE and more vegetarians may abound.

If so-called market forces were at actually at work, with prices so high, one would think the cattlemen would be expanding their herds.

Most of the glut last year was farmers selling them off because of the drought. The herds are their livelihood.
