WKBW-TV reports:
Some new numbers are showing that the U.S. has more than 2.5 billion lbs [1.1 million metric tons] of meat in cold storage warehouses, and it's all because Americans aren't eating enough to keep up with supply.
Another reason is that the trade situation is chipping away at global demand.
[...] The U.S. Department of Agriculture projects the industry will produce a record 102.7 billion pounds of meat this year.

Who can write stuff like this where a sentence contradicts the one right before it?

Obviously the reporter being quoted could write such stuff.
If, as a nation, we are accepting of a president who cannot read, write, or speak in complete sentences, then why should we be more demanding of reporters?
People today are educated enough to repeat what they are taught but not to question what they are taught.

US consumption is UP (see my previous post for citation).
Exports are down due to tariffs. (FTA)
And yet, it's American's not keeping up with supply. Sound's like somebody is carrying water for the administration....
