"It doesn't represent a reciprocal trading opportunity for Canadian beef farmers and ranchers... we think that it's a pretty one-sided deal," Fulton says.

The USDA's guidelines specify a recommended limit of 10% of daily calories coming from saturated fat, which is found in beef. Understanding meat labels is crucial for consumers.

Mercosur represents a number of South American countries, including Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay. However, it does not offer a reciprocal trading opportunity for Canadian beef farmers and ranchers.

Instead of cheapest, ask for the 'best value for [your] cooking method.' That small shift in wording can make a big difference in the 'final cut,' so to speak.

While bacon and eggs only made their way to the breakfast table in the 1920s, the processed meat has been part of the American diet since pigs first arrived on the continent in the 1500s. These days the average American eats around 18 pounds of bacon annually.

We are not moving away from making plant-based meat. This is a strategic expansion of our portfolio into additional protein categories. We start at the farm with clean and simple, non-GMO ingredients like yellow peas, red lentils and faba beans. We love clean protein and fiber.

For someone aiming to end the global livestock industry, Bruce Friedrich begins his new book called Meat in disarming fashion: I'm not here to tell anyone what to eat. You won't find vegetarian or vegan recipes in this book, and you won't find a single sentence attempting to convince you to eat differently. This book isn't about policing your plate.

Fiber is essential for stabilizing gut health, easing digestion, regulating bowel movements, and staggering the absorption of carbohydrate sugars into the bloodstream. By slowing down the glycemic load of these sugars flooding our bloodstreams, we can even reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

John did not want to give up beef entirely, but he feared the impact of the beef industry on the Paris agreement's limit of 1.5C of post-industrial global heating and the devastating effects of beef farming on deforestation. He compared the overconsumption of beef to the coolness of tobacco back in the day: Norms feel permanent, but norms can change and when they do it can be powerful, he said.

Global Product Prices puts Brazilian chicken at $1.67 per kilo - roughly 76 cents per pound. Compare that to data from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis that currently shows pricing of about $4 per pound in the U.S., and you're looking at quite the difference.

In 2019, the plant-based meat industry experienced explosive growth. Investors poured hundreds of millions of dollars into companies like Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods. Fast-food giants like McDonald's and Burger King rolled out plant-based burgers nationwide. Even celebrities like Snoop Dogg and Katy Perry backed the movement.

Large production sheds, known as "confinements," hold up to 2,500 sows, which are pumped full of antibiotics to help them survive their cramped, windowless existence. CAFOs generate colossal amounts of manure waste, forming gargantuan anaerobic lagoons that foul the air and pollute local water supplies around the farm.

Nitrites are generally used as a preservative in bacon and other processed foods, and the U.K.'s Food Standards Agency published a report last fall on the health risks of consuming nitrites. As Dr. James Cooper, the agency's Deputy Director of Food Policy, stated, '[W]hile nitrates and nitrites can form compounds called nitrosamines, many of which are carcinogenic, the link to serious health problems like cancer in humans remains inconclusive.'

According to their website, the target is to ensure that by 2030, all of their beef in America and Canada "will be sourced from suppliers that prohibit the routine use of medically important antibiotics". This is a part of Wendy's commitment to sourcing beef responsibly - a long-standing mission that dates back to 2001, when they set up the Animal Welfare Council.
