There’s a really good video linked in one of the other threads that specifies the type of beef being imported(essentially beef sludge used as filler by fast food restaurants) and highlights a couple of other key points.
The two important ones are that Argentina consumes about 70% of its domestically produced beef and would never have this large of a surplus of beef byproduct in a short amount of time AND that the EU is banning Brazilian beef starting September 3rd due to antimicrobial and antibacterial contamination.
So, it’s likely that the fast food industry is getting cheap contaminated filler to keep margins high while the politicians can claim a win for grocery prices coming down - even though that won’t happen.
