Another attack on our food.
This time it seems that meat processors are the next target.
Meat and poultry prices have skyrocketed in recent years.
We’ve seen beef and veal prices increasing for six straight months and predicted to keep rising.
Now the EPA is creating new rules for meat processors which could put a lot of them out of business, causing job losses and supply chain issues.
And with less meat processors, what will that do to the rest? Will they lower or increase their prices?
Dozens of Meat Processing Plants Expected to Shut Down Under New EPA Rules. The plan continues…#nwo #reset https://t.co/uk5Z7dydry

ZeroHedge reports:
Food prices—especially meat and poultry—have skyrocketed in the past four years and could be exacerbated further next year when new EPA rules for meat processors go into effect.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Price Outlook for September reported that beef and veal prices had increased for six straight months, and predicted they will rise 5.2 percent overall in 2024. Poultry prices also rose, although by a smaller percentage, and are expected to rise more before year’s end.
The report traced the rise to factors including pandemic-related supply chain disruptions and the worst inflation since the 1980s.
Next year could see still higher meat and poultry prices at the grocery store, analysts say. That’s because an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposal is expected to put some meat processors out of business, resulting in potential job losses and supply chain disruptions.
The EPA announced a proposed rule change governing effluent, or wastewater, limits for meat and poultry processors in January of this year, followed by public comment in the spring.
The agency’s final rule will go into effect in August 2025.
The proposal has met with opposition from dozens of states, industry stakeholders, and policy experts, who fear it will harm the industry, the food supply, and consumers.
The proposed changes are spurred by lawsuits filed by a coalition of 13 environmental organizations. In 2019, the groups challenged the Trump administration under the Clean Water Act for not updating aging water pollution control standards for slaughterhouses and meat processing plants.
In response, the EPA pledged to strengthen its regulations, without implementing changes. In December 2022, a second lawsuit was filed, resulting in the current proposal.
The proposed rule contains three possible options for reducing wastewater discharges from slaughterhouses and poultry processors through water filtration technology.
Benefits and Drawbacks
The EPA estimates that the new rules would reduce pollutants discharged through wastewater from processing facilities by about 100 million pounds per year.
The proposed rules would establish tighter limitations for nitrogen released into the environment by large processors and, for the first time, would limit phosphorus.
The rules would apply to processors directly discharging wastewater into bodies of water, and, for the first time, would also apply to those indirectly discharging wastewater via water treatment plants.
To those that don’t know, here’s a thread that shows that they’ve been lying about our meat for some time:
When walking by the meat counter at the grocery store, you will likely see the label "Product of the USA."
You may even see labels like "Pasture-Raised" or "Grass-Fed"
The labels are detracting from the fact that the beef you are about to purchase was not made in the USA. pic.twitter.com/o486HGoPKw

The act required sellers/packers to disclose the country that the animal was born, raised, and slaughtered.
This was a huge win for US ranchers, who have small margins to begin with and are strong-armed by the large 4 corporate packers.

With the repeal of this act, you truly have no transparency into where your meat is coming from.
For example: An animal can be raised, killed, and processed in Brazil, but if it's packaged in the USA you can slap a USA label on it.
Pretty insane right?

The timing of this is pretty incredible when you realize we just brought you this report YESTERDAY:
Can I Send You Two Free Ribeye Steaks? [From NOAH]
Hey Noah here (or should that be "NoahBae"?) and yes this is real.
Allow me to explain...
So 99% of the time we cover the hard news around here, and every so often I also like to work in something that I think you might really like. Something that you might make your life better!
This kind of blends both of those categories...
One thing I've become very passionate about is our food supply, in all facets.
Whether it's toxic things like food additives, Red Dye 3 and 40, toxic chemical additives, etc....
Or whether it's the direct attack on the food supply system itself with all the food processing plants blowing up, burning down, etc...
Or whether it's the "Fake Food" they want to push on us like 3D printed steaks and salmon....
Or the "Plant Based Meat" that isn't much better....
Or the crickets that Klaus Schwab literally wants you to eat....
It's all under attack from literally every side!
I can't solve every single problem, but I do have a solution for free range, hormone free, antibiotics free, mRNA free beef. The real deal.
Will that solve all the problems?
Of course not.
But I do believe that eating CLEAN red meat is incredibly important to our health.
I've written a bunch of articles on this but I believe healthy amounts of direct sunlight (no sunscreens), eggs, red meat, Ivermectin, daily exercise and good sleep each night would solve probably 75% of all health problems Americans currently face.
So I do believe it's quite important.
The beef you buy at the grocery store is likely not free from antibiotics, hormones and/or mRNA and it's like not "grass fed".
This is what they think "grass fed" means:
This is "Grass Fed Beef" to most beef companies, even the so-called "Angus Beef"....
I have a better solution: https://t.co/nj3zYRqhyM
(cheaper too!)

That's not how I roll.
I've personally searched out and partnered up with the single largest rancher in all of Idaho (and diversified in several other states too).
I've even been out to one of the ranches in Idaho to see it myself and it's pretty incredible!
They're doing everything right....
As I said, it's 100% FREE from Antibiotics, added Hormones and mRNA:
They don't depend on ranchers....because they ARE the ranchers!
They're what's known as "vertically integrated" meaning they own own and control every single step in the process from start to finish!
The ranch, the processing, the packing and the shipping!
Think all meat is the same?
You have no idea until you actually try real meat.
The stuff you get at the store has been so processed and "preserved" that you don't know the difference until you taste how it SHOULD be....
Check this out:
They are committed not only to quality but to sustainability....
Basically.....?
They're the anti-Bill Gates!
I'm sure you've heard of Omaha Steaks or Butcher Box or other places that ship steaks right to your door, but if you're currently buying from Butcher Box, Omaha Steaks, Kansas City Steak Company or Chicago Steak Company, you're paying MORE and getting LESS than the company I have partnered up with: Riverbend Ranch, baby!
Take a look:
So if you're into steaks and you'd rather save some $$ money compared to the other companies listed above, or if you'd like to ditch the hormones, antibiotics and mRNA that is likely in the steak at your local grocery store, I have a MUCH better option for you.
And because they are so confident you're going to love it, if you test them out and order some steaks in October, they're going to send you two completely free ribeyes!
I told ya, stick around here and you'll not only get the news with no censorship, you'll also get some FREE bennies!
Here's my personal link and you can do everything online: http://riverbendranchsteaks.com/WLTrump
As I always like to say, who loves ya baby?
Enjoy!
NOTE: this is only good in October 2024, so if you're reading this after 10/31/24 I'm sorry but you won't get the two free ribeyes.
