I heard that Americans prefer Irish beef.
EU: "I don't want your beef. I hate your beef."
American Beef: sob
Lutnick: "Don't listen to them Beef! You're beautiful no matter what anybody says! You know what EU? I think your beef sucks! Your beef is WEAK!"

"they hate it because its beautiful" makes absolutely no fucking sense. these people need to be laughed at to their face. (among other things)
I’m based in the US and I refuse to buy most of the chicken on sale either. Heritage chicken only please
Article is 10 days old, which in Trump tariff terms is like a year. Just noting for anyone who thinks this is relevant to the current situation.
As an African with access to reasonable traditional cattle farming, I can say that American beef tastes like crap. Looks amazing, but tastes like crap.
It depends on where it comes from in the US. You're spot on when it comes to basically anything sold in a grocery store. But we have some great cattle that produces great beef. You have to go to high end butchers for it though. Or buy it directly from the ranchers and butcher it yourself.

As an American that has traveled to many places, why would Europe want any type of American food. I felt like most countries I’ve traveled to especially in central and South America and places like Italy the food is more farm to table and by far way more healthier. Have you ever seen Fanta from Europe compared to USA?
Argentinian beef is top tier. While we do have some great beef in the US, it's all from smaller ranchers that most people don't have access to, and it still doesn't compare to Argentina.
Argentinian beef could use some seasoning though. Every time I've had Argentinian beef fare it was bland af, which sucks because it looks amazing
How is the fanta different?
European Fanta lover here. Visited US, the HFCS based Fanta felt disgustang to me
Most countries don't use high fructose corn syrup

I thought this was a joke until I read Lutnick's name
Trumps words coming out of a sycophants mouth. How stupid do you have to be that trumps way of putting it is better than what you can come up with yourself.
I've never seen belittling people get them to change their minds, but I have seen conservative attempt it hundreds of times.
Spoiler: I see the left doing it all the time as well. Shit, I see vegans trying it too.
It never works.
I belittle conservatives for my own enjoyment, and to laugh at them with my peers. I gave up on changing minds when I gave up on changing my dads, and that was 15 years ago at least (was a gradual decline, not sure when I actually gave up).

I've eaten beef all over the world. US beef is nothing special.
It's special in that it's full with antibiotics and growth hormones.
Right after I read this, I went and made out with the meat products in our kitchen. It was pretty hot. EU doesn't get to bang our gorgeous beef and they're jelly.
The bigliest beef ever. Tears in its eyes.
Eww... We don't need chlorine infused chicken and chemical soaked eggs. No idea what crap they have in their mad cow beef and lobster. Ban it by law, put it into the constitution change all the national anthem to say EU citizens will be protected from US chemical infused meat and eggs. Write it into a huge stone facing US in multiple languages. Make T-shirts too and hats.
No idea what crap they have in their mad cow beef and lobster.
Neither does America: they fired the people who check this.
Don't american eggs need to be refrigerated and cannot be eaten raw or something ridiculous
They are washed with harsh chemicals, leading to the destruction of the natural protective layer (that protective layer prevents germs like salmonella from entering the egg)
Apparently, it's to combat salmonella contamination from fecies on the shell.
European countries instead vaccinate their chickens, have higher hygiene and biosecurity standards (with regular inspections) for farms and frequently collect the eggs to avoid any surface contamination without having to wash their eggs.
But we just hope that harsh chemicals will cover up the natural consequences of our inhumane practices. So I can see both sides.
Please send help. We're disgusting.

It’s because they are washed in a different way than the rest of the world.
I'm pretty certain that the main imports of beef to EU is from South America.
Even as a Canadian I avoid American meat as much as possible when buying groceries.
As an American, I avoid US beef as well. Hope our meat industry crashes, tbh. It's crazy expensive and yet it's disappointing.
