“The European Union won’t take chicken from America. They won’t take lobsters from America. They hate our beef because our beef is beautiful and theirs is weak. It’s unbelievable” Lutnick told FoxNews

Has this man seen the state animals are in? Factory farming? What an idiot.
We can’t sell corn to India. We can’t sell rice to Asia.
This part is hilariously stupid because there isn't a block of those exports. It's a block on genetically modified foods. These countries have a lot of common sense policies concerning the sale of GMOs because they do not want to get stuck in the monoculture death spiral that the US agricultural sector is stuck in.
Why in the world do we let these people sell their cars? 94% of cars in Japan are made in Japan.
This is another stupid one. The Japanese don't like idiotically massive cars. Which is 90% of what American carmakers sell.
I try my best to buy as locally as possible.
It doesn't matter how beautiful that beef is, I won't let that sweet sexy attractive beef blind me from buying local when possible.
Nova Scotia lobster is awesome and there will be lots to go around this year since we won't be sending much stateside or to China.
I'd suggest Alberta beef as well but fuck Danielle Smith.
You know, that's exactly what I've said, every single time I've eaten beef, anywhere in Europe..."What weak beef! I bet that cow couldn't have done more than 20 push-ups. I can actually taste that a 2-hour run would have taken that cow the better part of an hour."
🙄
I try to go by the book “Food Rules” by Michael Pollan. The book basically tells Americans to eat like the rest of the world does, which isn’t easy here with all of the oversized portions of “edible food-like substances” as the book describes.
I kinda like that he is doing this because while this won't reach a large number of MAGAts, at least a few will pause and realize, "Wait, other countries have higher standards for their citizens than the food that myself and my family eat daily? Is that.. a good or a bad thing?"
And some small number will learn something they would've never been exposed to if the orange-moron didn't say it.
I don't imagine it will reach many of them, they wouldn't be MAGAts if they thought about things very deeply after all, but some of them will get it.
Thank you Mr. President for starting this awareness campaign (in the stupidest way possible).
Beef is a lot more expensive in Europe in my experience, but is also of a much higher quality. You can get an equivalent quality in the US but you’ll have to go to a specialty butcher or a farmers market and it will be more expensive than an equivalent cut in Europe.
And frankly the cheap stuff in the US is still too expensive for me to make it a regular part of my diet. So, if I’m going to have it, it’ll be a treat, and I may as well buy the better stuff in that case.
Keep your poison
It must be nice to walk into a grocery store and buy things without having to read the ingredients of 10 different products to find the one with the fewest unnecessary shitty ingredients that are all banned in the EU. Can’t even buy an apple I don’t have to peel first because the skin is covered in fucking Apeel. Good for the EU rejecting our enshittified American garbage.
Food from the USA is not up to European standards. It's that simple.
Just look at how long it took to ban Red Dye #3. Banned almost completely in Europe in 1994, while in the US it's legal until 2027.
Beautiful beef from cows that are skinned alive. Yes very beautiful. https://archive.is/2025.04.12-224648/https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/12/opinion/animal-slaughterhouse-meat.html
Eww... We don't need chlorine infused chicken and chemical soaked eggs. No idea what crap they have in their mad cow beef and lobster. Ban it by law, put it into the constitution change all the national anthem to say EU citizens will be protected from US chemical infused meat and eggs. Write it into a huge stone facing US in multiple languages. Make T-shirts too and hats.
American is the worst food in the whole world. Its better to go hungry than partaking in the excesses of highly processed american diet. Go to any supermarket and check the ingredients of american food and you will find stuff like malto dextrose, inverse sugar, dyglycerides, corn starch and high fructose syrup. All of these are rubbish ingredients which pollutes your body and makes you addicted. Stay away from american food for your own health. Buy EU/Canada/India/China/SEA etc but do not touch american products.
Dr Strangelove type quote.
Word for word, the same thing the president said.
I don't mind the statement behind the post, but was there really no other medium for the post than the Trumpist NYPost? This is the same media that supposedly wants to ask 10 questions about the tariffs in an article to defend them, and then asks questions like should Trump keep 12 million illegal refugees in the country like Biden?
What does this question have to do with legitimising the tariffs? No idea, ask the brainwashed journalists at the NYPost.
As an American that has traveled to many places, why would Europe want any type of American food. I felt like most countries I’ve traveled to especially in central and South America and places like Italy the food is more farm to table and by far way more healthier. Have you ever seen Fanta from Europe compared to USA?
"Evidentiary basis" ≠ "consumption declines", greaselords.
It's just become a lot more expensive than it used to be, and the environmentalist/health aspects of it might play a small part in this, too.
Weak unchlorinated meat, unbelievable!
"they hate it because its beautiful" makes absolutely no fucking sense. these people need to be laughed at to their face. (among other things)
God damn it that's not how people are supposed to speak.
Article is from NY Post which is basically Goebbels Press
And then they say at the end, "there is some evidentiary basis" for that idiot's statement... our food is terrible and that's why nobody else wants it. Many of us don't even want it. But since this is the "land of the free", we have basically no choice. I hate this place so much
Lutnick’s description of American beef as superior is a common perception and has some evidentiary basis.
“EU consumption of beef has been in decline for 20 years. This may be, at least in part, due to inconsistencies in eating quality, meaning that the customers cannot be sure of the quality they are purchasing,” says a 2022 academic article in Animal: The International Journal of Animal Biosciences.
So according to the NY Post, the apparent absence of complaints in the US is an argument why US beef is better?
I thought this was a joke until I read Lutnick's name
Those evil Europeans like quality. But not American, only real quality.
American animal "farms" are a dirty and unhygienic mess, and the fact that people still eat their products in the US makes people elsewhere cringe in horror. I love to shock Americans with "Mettbrötchen", a crispy roll with raw, minced pork meat. Perfectly safe to eat here. But people who are used to washed.eggs and chlorinated chicken recoil in horror to something like that.
Article is 10 days old, which in Trump tariff terms is like a year. Just noting for anyone who thinks this is relevant to the current situation.
Trumps mouthpiece
I’m based in the US and I refuse to buy most of the chicken on sale either. Heritage chicken only please
The bigliest beef ever. Tears in its eyes.
As someone who used to visit fairly regularly, yeah it sucks.
I'm pretty certain that the main imports of beef to EU is from South America.
Right after I read this, I went and made out with the meat products in our kitchen. It was pretty hot. EU doesn't get to bang our gorgeous beef and they're jelly.
I heard that Americans prefer Irish beef.
