>steak is $15 a pound>pork is $3 a poundthe fuck? is pork really that much worse?
>>22015550Pigs are fed literal garbage in America
>>22015560>Pigs are fed literal garbage in Americaso are the people
>>22015560that is not correct, and hasn't been for at least 40 years.the only people who feed pigs slop are maybe third worlders who come here and have some small farm.
>>22015550Supposedly lobbyists have all kinds of subsidies and protectionist policies established that the prices aren’t really free market determined … like apparently chicken is as expensive as beef in the rest of the world and only cheap here because of that
>>22015550pigs are cheaper to produce and there isnt as much demand since plebs and schizos think theyre low quality and/or don't know how to cook them. cherish it while it lasts because some mindbroken corporate influencer on social media is going to make pork content sooner or later and jack up the price.
>>22015572>like apparently chicken is as expensive as beef in the rest of the world and only cheap here because of thatThere are subsidies, but if that's true then it probably has other reasons. Chickens grow way too fast compared to cows for them to end up being the same price. Pigs also grow much faster than cows and need less resources overall which is why pork is so much cheaper. Cows were often kept mainly for milk and eating beef was almost always a luxury or necessity compared to pretty much any other meat.
It's more that beef supply is kept artificially low by a whole host of groups who want to keep beef prices high. All other answers here are wrong.
>>22015564Kek, what a nice lil goyim. In America and Canada, farmers are allowed to feed pigs food waste such as:Vegetable Waste: Vegetable scraps, peels, cores, and leaves, such as carrots, potatoes (must be cooked), cabbage, beetroot, pumpkins, lettuce, squash, and cucumbers.Fruit Waste: Spoiled or leftover fruit, including apples, bananas, pears, peaches, and berries.Bakery and Grains: Stale or old bread, donuts, pasta, rice, cereal, crackers, and cakes.Dairy Products: Milk and milk by-products of local origin.Brewery Waste: Spent grains from local breweries are good for their diet.Garden Waste: Grass clippings (from untreated lawns), weeds (like dandelions), and clover.
>>22015650Oh no they're feeding pigs...>check notesFOOD AND PLANT MATTER
>>22015650>potatoes (must be cooked)HOLY SHIT
>>22015562seed oil bros... is he mocking us
>>22015686*ROTTED FOOD AND PLANT MATTERthere, fixed it for you and I even added your faggoty all caps writing style.
>>22015837wait til you hear what mushrooms eat
>>22015839pork, swine and pigs are unclean animals. keep spinning up some mental gymnastics to make you feel better about eating a disgusting animal, I don't care, stupid filthy infidel.
Pig meat isn't as healthful as cow meat because they're monogast, but you do what you need to
>>22015840go back to the oven
>>22015840>pork, swine and pigs are unclean animalswhy did you use three different words for the same animal
>>22015854shut up, why do you care.
You want to eat an animal that eats its own shit?
>>22015560pigs were fed horse manure since antiquity, as food was always scarce.
>>22015650>AI nonsense postkill yourself.
>>22015840and in the end the euromuslim reveals itself. seriously, when are we rangebanning that entire continent?
>>22015550Pork is cheaper to produce as pigs require less space, less medical care and have a much less specialized diet than cows, and the demand for pork is lower as multiple religions prohibit its consumption. That said, I do think there could be money in a pork burger restaurant, use mostly cheap fatty cuts with a little beef for lean, flavor and texture and some breadcrumbs or similar filler, basically a modern revamp of the Depression burger.
>>22015840Pigs are way cleaner than pisslamists tho
>>22015840>pork, swine and pigsKek
>>22015578If it makes the beef prices go down i would welcome it
>>22015901>Seethes about Europe out of nowhereRent free
>>22015908a christpig would say that, yes
>>22015904iberico pork burgers taste better than beef burgers but they're also more expensive
any retard actually complaining that they feed pigs slopshit has never seen the slopshit they feed cattlecommon co-products in cattle feed blends include chicken shit (has caused multiple avian flu outbreaks) cereal residue (the shit that gets REJECTED from mass produced bakeries and sausage lines) and flushed waste water from processing plants (they use this to save a fraction of a cent instead of using normal water to produce the feed)all this and more is openly disclosed and listed on the USDA and CFIA feed ingredients tables>>22015550we bred out all the objectively good qualities from pork in the last century after a marketing push to make it the "next chicken" by stripping it of all fat and flavor, which is why it largely has neither outside of the belly and select cuts. this is also, unsurprisingly, why heritage breeds like black iberians, berkshies and duroc all are comparably priced to beef. get a local butcher or ask around for local boutique hog farmers because you will never see these at a big retailer
>>22015550It's better, actually. Enjoy the discount and stop talking about it.
>>22015837It's still all plant matter bro. It's healthier than feeding them plastic or processed pellets. Are you retarded or something?
>>22016308Wait until he finds out what they feed to plants.
>>22015650I don't see anything wrong with any food source that you posted. We aren't feeding them crude oil. In fact it's good that pigs eat scraps, it's holistic. Thanks based piggers
>>22015840>>22015860>InfidelYour schizo desert pedo shaman religion doesn't measure up to the facts about farming, buddy. Imagine thinking 2000 year old food and farming habits are still relevant in an industrialized country kek
>>22015650>>22015688w-what happens if you dont cook them
People don't know how to cook pork and are brainwashed by kosher and halal morons. Don't give away our secrets
>>22016335breaks down the starch content, solanine is toxic to most livestockit's a catch-all rule in a lot of countries, but you technically don't need to do this for ruminants depending on the volume (solanine is still toxic to them, they can just handle a lot more)
>>22015585Cows take about 7.5 kg of feed to produce 1 kg of meatPigs need about 3 kgAnyone blaming the jews/pajeets/trannies for expensive beef needs to have his head examined, preferably using invasive, destructive testing methodologies, no anesthesia, and in a publicly humiliating way
>>22016378i'm not entirely anti-livestock production but those numbers are outdated and rudimentary at best and straight up wrong at worstthose old FCR figures are very intentionally factoring in using extremely low-nutrition bulk feed blends and include bone weight to the cuts of meat, and are usually heavily skewed higher by the inclusion of feedlot figures (which can place grain conversions alone at nearly 20kg per kg produced, see eishel et al 2014)when you specify actual meat (no bone) and quality feed the gap actually closes quite a surprising amount, and there are cases of specialty operations getting a 3:1 FCR on cattle too, and while this is more expensive to improve feed and genetics that much, it's not a direct correlation (in other words, reducing the FCR by 2.5x from 7.5-3 is not 2.5x more expensive)a significant premium has to be factored in strictly on the basis that people, generally, prefer beef. how much of that is due to taste, marketing and culturally influenced perception, or otherwise, is a question for anthropologists and economists, not my area of expertise
Expensive = good? Cheap = bad?Poor heuristic, OP. Products can stay the same but change in price, and that doesn't somehow affect their quality.
>>22015840>pork, swine and pigsKek, solid bait
>>22016305Only good post itt
>>22016407remember when oxtail wasn't $30/lb at least cuts of [REDACTED] are still really cheap
>>22016411>>22016411Mhm, and oxtail got better for OP because the price went up. It's a good thing for him.I too enjoy [REDACTED]. I also like [REDACTED] in the pressure cooker. Good choices, anon.
Reminder that the vast population of North American buffalo was nearly hunted to extinction explicitly to keep the price of beef high.I've actually seen "Ground Bork" offered at local supermarkets a few times, a combination of ground beef and pork. I don't think they noted the percentages. I'm kind of surprised that fast food chains haven't offered a "100% REAL HAM-burger!" made of ground pork since it's so much cheaper than beef.
>>22017144ground beef/pork mix has been common in other countries for a long time but i just started seeing it in US stores recently. fine by me though because it's half the price and useful for things like meatloaf, meatballs, and my weeby hamburgsteaky
>>22015550Pigs grow faster and there are more of them that can be crammed into a given farm. Beef was never a real competitor in terms of production.
