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.

    Why can't we have the national cookout, and serve liberals? Nothing could ever get conservatives and liberals any closer than eating the liberals!

    You're in a bad mood today, old man :) And remember, you are what you eat, so eating liberals might make you--gasp--reasonable, humane, and unselfish! And we can't have THAT, oh no, Cthulhu FORBID!

      Eating cows hasn't made me herbivorous. I'll take my chances.
