The article goes out of it's way to address this argument. The cattle could have born, died, and primarily been butchered in another country as long as any amount of processing was done in the US. This would be like if a tree was grown and and harvested in China, turned into a table in china, sent to the US, then a logo was stenciled in a corner in the US and then US was listed as the country of origin for the table when in fact every meaningful step of it's production occurred somewhere else.
