Interestingly, beef in the U.K., which is almost entirely British or Irish outside of the most premium end of the market, is cheaper than US grown beef is in America.
Even if it were legal here, it would struggle to gain market share apart from top end restaurants and butchers selling the most high end American stuff.
Doesn’t matter to me tbh. I’m not eating any yank produce, hormone treated or not.
I never understand the idea of reciprocal exports, we send our beef to them and they send their beef here. Why? It’s wasteful and unnecessary.
Doesn’t matter to me. I’m making a concious effort to reduce the amount of US imported stuff I buy.
This trade deal is an absolute disgrace to the UK. We should be cutting ties with the US and focusing on trade deals within Europe/CANZUK.
Shit like this is why people say Labour is turning into a right leaning party.
The problem the US beef has here is that no one will buy it (for many reasons by main one is due to the view that ALL US beef is lower quality than UK while costing more) however the UK can sell its beef to the USA at a higher price than they get here due to beef being more expensive in the USA, while being viewed as higher quality (no hormones etc) so they can charge even more money and more profit for UK farmers.
It’s actually a good deal for the UK it seems.
Say it louder for the thickos at the back please, they still aint got it.
