@YIMBYLAND Everyone acts like sleep training is locking your infant in a soundproof room and ignoring their desperate cries for help. That's now how it works at all.
A few days ago, a plan was announced to bring 300,000 metric tons of foreign beef into the United States over the next 90 days through a tariff waiver.
Years in this industry keep bringing us back to the same truth: quality starts with knowing where your food comes from. Grass-fed, prime, choice, organic, all-natural... these words get thrown around constantly. None of them matter if there's no accountability behind them. And right now, there is very little accountability in what's coming.
Nobody knows where this beef is coming from. Nobody knows how the animals were raised, what they were fed, or what antibiotics and vaccines were used. There is no mandatory country of origin labeling for ground beef in this country. Congress repealed that in 2015, which means this beef can sit next to American beef in your grocery store with no obligation to tell you anything about it.
This isn't alarmism. History is just worth paying attention to. In 2013, Europe went through a massive food fraud scandal when products labeled as beef tested anywhere from 30 to 100% horse meat. The package said beef. It wasn't beef. This happened because supply chains got too long, oversight got thin, and accountability broke down.
The cattle markets dropped sharply the morning this announcement came out. American ranchers who have spent years rebuilding their herds after drought and rising costs are now competing against government-subsidized foreign beef coming in below market price. The National Cattlemen's Beef Association called it unsustainable, and they're right.
At Good Ranchers, the position has always been clear. Every product is American born, raised, and harvested. No antibiotics, no added hormones.
Pay attention to what's on your label. If it doesn't tell you where your beef came from, ask why.
imo you literally get that “spark” all over again. everything is a new experience to your kid. seeing a bug? coolest thing ever. eating ice cream. amazing. going for a car ride. painting a picture. even every day normal activities like grocery shopping are an incredible experience with them. holidays like christmas, easter, halloween etc all feel like how they felt like when you were a kid again. everything is exciting again because you are seeing the world for the first time through their eyes
@DissidentSoaps This isn't an appeal. This is a Motion to Recuse, and probably a Motion to Reconsider his Motion for New Trial. When a new judge is appointed they will hear the Motion for New Trial and probably deny it, at which point the appellate process will begin.
