Like I've been saying -- make meat more expensive -- especially #Beef! Will this be the end of #CheapBeef?
Why the U.S. cattle herd is at a 75-year low — and what it means for beef prices
May 29, 2026
"Raising cattle — like buying beef — is getting more expensive
"Farmers and ranchers say expenses such as those for diesel fuel, equipment parts, fertilizer and even the animals themselves are all up. Operators who have to take out loans to buy cattle or fund infrastructure improvements are facing higher costs and have to decide how much debt they're willing to tolerate in a volatile livestock market."

And this is a problem, why? Seriously! I've been saying for years -- meat should be expensive! And a treat, not a daily staple!
Beef prices are soaring. Here’s why America is facing record-low cattle numbers

So, I will be posting about #tallow -- both beef and buffalo. I honestly think that EVERYONE who eats meat (myself included) should eat less meat -- make it a special occasion! And when we do consume meat, we should use as much of the animal as possible -- as was done by #IndigenousPeoples around the world. And we should realize that a life has been taken, and not be so casual about it.
And yeah, I wish I could do a vegan diet, but I can't. I have a condition that prevents me from eating too many beans (and I love cheese). I eat meat on occasion, and make it a part of a bigger meal (stews, soups, stir-fry, etc), with lots of veggies and starches (rice or potatoes). A little meat goes a long way, and I love leftovers. I do eat vegetarian dishes the rest of the week. But I have never been a burger-a-day person! UGH!

By changing our diets now, we can avoid the food chaos that climate change is bringing
Published: August 6, 2025
Excerpt: "This trajectory of climate-driven food price hikes – leading to social unrest and political decay – is not inevitable. The scientific consensus shows that the biggest opportunity we have for reducing food’s environmental impacts across many countries is increasing the amount of plants we eat and reducing meat and dairy intake.
"This could help us better deal with shocks. It’s likely such shifts would be better for related climate shocks such as flooding and storm surges.
"Plant-rich diets are beneficial because eating plants is a far more efficient way of delivering the calories and nutrients we need for a healthy lifestyle than eating animals that are fed on plants.
"My team and I found that a shift to plant-rich diets in the UK would free an area almost the size of Scotland. As climate change hits food production, some land currently producing animal feed could be used for human crops instead. There would still be plenty of land left which could – if sufficient policies are put in place – be used to meet biodiversity targets while improving access to nature for millions and improving mental health.
"The plant-rich diet we investigated isn’t vegan. It’s not even vegetarian, although it does include a reasonable (and healthier) amount of meat and dairy. For example, it still includes a hamburger every fortnight." [Well, personally, I prefer a buffalo burger once a month or every two months, but yeah...]

U.S. dietary guidelines should emphasize #beans and #lentils as protein, new proposal says
The report, from an advisory committee to the #USDA, also suggests encouraging people to reduce their intake of #SugaryDrinks and sodium and eat more whole grains.
Dec. 12, 2024, 5:00 AM EST
By Randi RichardsonSummary
- A report on proposed changes to U.S. dietary guidelines suggests encouraging people to eat more beans and lentils for protein and less #RedMeat.
- Updated guidelines are expected to go into effect later next year.
- Future guidelines should also spur people to eat more whole grains and consume less sugary drinks, sodium and processed food, the report says."#DietForASmallPlanet #Diet #MeatEating #EatLessMeat #GoMeatless

I've been saying this for a long time. If we are going to eat meat (especially beef), it should be expensive and a special treat -- not an everyday occurrence!
The End of the #CheapBurger
#FastFood chains might be dangling deals, but #MeatEaters better prepare for a new, more expensive era for America’s favorite food.
September 26, 2024
"Most of us remember 2020 for the pandemic, but ranchers will also remember it for the severe drought. When pasture for herds to graze grows harder to come by, ranchers send animals to slaughter without replacing them, shrinking herds and sending prices up. 2024’s rainfall has been better, but parts of the country are still not out of the woods. Even as the costs of feed for cattle has declined, higher interest rates and operating expenses have meant that it’s still too pricey for most ranchers to get back to growing their herds, or 'rebuilding' them, in industry parlance. So the number of cattle continues to fall, and the price of beef will continue to rise."

Apologies this comes the other place, but is an interesting and important topic
- how does UK make best use of productive land to feed ourselves AND deliver NetZero commitments?

CW: Content might contain traces of meat
We absolutely should eat less meat. No argument.
For those of us who feel the need to carry on eating some meat, what's better than Spanish Serrano ham? Small quantities, priced such that you really can't afford to eat too much, and delicious.

Red algae will NOT eliminate livestock as a problem for combating climate change.
The U.N. has a report stating that the livestock industry contributes more to the greenhouse effect than *transportation*.
One reason is methane.
It was hoped that mixing seaweed into livestock feed would cut methane emissions. Earlier studies showed 90% reductions and higher.
However, this latest and longest running study only showed a 28% reduction.
A guaranteed way to reduce methane emissions from the livestock industry is to minimize meat consumption. Eat less meat.

What's the market for #recipes that are both low carb & low meat?
We have a family member who has to eat low carb. We also strive to #EatLessMeat. This has forced me to get pretty creative in the kitchen. I've built a decent repertoire of recipes that are #keto-friendly, kid-friendly, working-parent-friendly, animal-friendly(ish), & don't use artificial sweeteners. It's a niche need, but curious if anyone else out there is chasing a similar diet & could use help!

Excellent news! This decision should be the final nail in the coffin for one of the cruelest & most controversial forms of #AnimalAbuse.
#Proposition12 bans sale of pork in #California from sows that are forced to live in stalls so small they cannot lie down, stand up or turn around - unnecessary, relentless #UnbearableSuffering of a sentient being.
