from the It's-a-meat-wave! dept.

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.

    Mark my words: They will WASTE it.

    They will bury or burn it.

    They will NEVER feed somebody who will not (Or cannot) pay for it. (It would affect profits)

    Storing excess meat outdoors in large piles next to PETA offices would not be a waste. And I did offer other suggestions that don't involve trying to help people who can't pay.

    you're probably right and the people should kill them for it.
