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.

    The market is going to be distorted by Trump's new welfare for farmers and ranchers, so expect more and more meat to pile up in cold storage.
