Morning Brew Daily · Would You Only Eat “Made in USA” Beef? & Being a Bridesmaid is Becoming Too Costly · 18 Sep 2026 podcast

This is how ground beef is made. voice-verified

You combine lean beef beef trimmings with more fatty beef trimmings from it could be like a cow from a completely other country, and that together creates ground beef. voice-verified

Yeah, so but but this is a big deal. voice-verified

We can move off the how ground beef is made into the broader, uh, broader problem here, which is that the number of cattle and calves in the United States is at a 75-year low, just 86.2 million uh currently in the US. voice-verified

There's been a lot of drought that's devastated cattle herds, that's driven up prices for consumers. voice-verified

A lot of the actions that the Trump administration has taken, like importing food. voice-verified

Foreign beef trimmings has upset a lot of ranchers. voice-verified

This labeling requirement seeks to appease them somehow, but more of the little guys, the independent ranchers, say this is gonna be too costly for us. voice-verified

Actually, it's the big guys who don't like this. voice-verified

The retailers, meat packers, feedlot owners, they say this is gonna be way too costly for us. voice-verified

We've we cited that estimate of eight billion dollars in added costs over a decade. voice-verified

The little guys say, okay, maybe this will help us out because people. voice-verified

People will go to the grocery store, see made in the USA from a smaller rancher and will say, uh, yeah, like let's uh let's buy that. voice-verified

I'll pay a little bit more. voice-verified

But what they're saying overall is that these are all band-aids to the bigger problem. voice-verified

We need to incentivize production of cattle to get these cattle herds back up. voice-verified

And only then can they address the problem. voice-verified

That is the long-term solution. voice-verified

Moving on, welcome to Stock of the Week Dog of the Week, the segment where Liv and I pick one stock that remembered to pack their lunch and another that's settling for a twenty dollar bowl slop. voice-verified

You won the pre-show knitting contest, Liv, so you get to go first. voice-verified
