Extreme Cold Culls Herd – Beef Prices On The Rise

Hey you! Can you get me a sweater!?

Global cooling is having an effect on the price of beef.  The longer, colder winters have shrunk herds to levels not seen since 1951, according to the LATimes. (Note that the LAT blames ‘extreme weather.’)

That means higher meat prices for consumers already burdened by high food inflation and soaring energy prices.  Thank God we have a Democrat president who can’t possibly be at fault for economic policy or the weather!

The retail value of “all-fresh” USDA choice-grade beef jumped to a record $5.28 a pound in February, up from $4.91 the same time a year ago. The same grade of beef cost $3.97 as recently as 2008.

The vegan Global Warming denier-deniers must be ecstatic.  Now we can all look like the pasty, underfed hollowed-out, zombie-like shoppers at Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods.
