In Beiiing, the international shops, and some high scale supermarkets (the kind in the bottom floors of skyscrapers) stock all kerrygold and irish beef products at 5x the prices we pay here. In France and Holland often the high quality cuts of beef are irish, and locals will pay for it, knowing its higher quality than their own products.
My American Mrs gets blown away by the quality of meat and produce here. It’s miles ahead of most other countries’ quality.

If global human society wants and expects steak, why not rear the whole world’s supply in the most logical and efficient climate for grass and cattle?
We produce zero coal and oil.

I was always told there’s more cattle than people in the country. So that’s a lie? 🤯😂
We have a lot more than that graph suggests and currently have a herd of over 6.5 million cattle in the republic

Monoculture grass fields are pure shite for our environment and i’m sick of people saying its the best and most environmentally friendly way to produce beef. Yeah when you compare it to corn-fed american beef maybe but it is in my fuck good for the environment. Its like encouraging the use of petrol because diesel is dirty and touting petrol as the way to save the climate.
Mixed species swards need to be heavily encouraged and in reality would likely make the beef taste better while being much friendlier to our environment.

Oddly, this is why we have to be paying attention to bird flu – it’s already infecting cattle in America [https://www.avma.org/resources-tools/animal-health-and-welfare/animal-health/avian-influenza/avian-influenza-virus-type-h5n1-us-dairy-cattle](https://www.avma.org/resources-tools/animal-health-and-welfare/animal-health/avian-influenza/avian-influenza-virus-type-h5n1-us-dairy-cattle)
