In many ways this is their loss. Yes, there is a risk, but US beef is the best in the world, with no small thanks to the rich multicultural society we live in.
- chneu 1y agoLol no it's not. Each country has specific tastes then breeds for it. American beef is not the same as Brazilian beef which isn't the same as European beef which isnt the same as Australian beef. It's just preference. There is no "better". I grew up ranching and have visited operations in several countries. It's all just preference. A lot of people think US beef isn't very good.
- Gigachad 1y agoAustralian beef is way better, and doesn’t come loaded with prions.
- hollerith 1y agoI will buy grass-fed beef from NZ and Australia, but not from the US because of how often it contains toxins (probably mostly heavy metals, hard to say because I never had any analyzed, but I am unusually sensitive to heavy metals) in my personal beef-buying experience. Grain-fed US beef doesn't have the problem. My guess is that there has just been much more industrial activity in the US than in Aus and NZ.
