A previous post of ours centered around imported product being labeled as “product of the USA” sparked some really great conversation. In that, there were a few comments about how corrupt the American food production system was, and that some consumers might actually prefer product produced in another country.... We are not here to discuss the quality standards or integrity of imported product. We are here to tell you that you must know your farmer, because reading a product label is simply not enough. Buying beef from other countries is not the issue- it’s companies importing product and leading consumers to believe it’s a “product of the USA” when it’s clearly not. The animals were raised, slaughtered and butchered in a foreign country. Imported product being sold as “product of the USA” is one of the, if not the, biggest reasons there are not more American, regenerative farmers. We believe that if there were clear country of origin labeling laws, there would be MORE regenerative, American farmers. And, until this becomes a reality, we will continue to have an incredibly fragile food supply systems. Know your farmer. Know where your food comes from.show more

100%. Thank you for telling it like it is, and doing what you do.

I have the privilege of meeting this man. THIS is a good, honest, man with principles

These labels are very simple and straightforward. And mandatory here.

We have all become so far removed from the origins of our food that it's scary. I honestly don't trust governments to provide trustworthy labeling. We need to completely change the way we look at food. It's where the battle against centralized control and manipulation starts.

We export more beef than we import, square that one.

Women In Farm Economics (WIFE) are farmer’s wives from all across the US who lobby on their own dime. Mostly older women, they have been asking for country of origin labeling for a decade or more. Please reach out to them.

Mandatory Country Of Origin Labeling on beef was rescinded in 2015, and since that time, American shelves have been flooded with beef labeled "Product of the USA," despite the fact that it was from animals born, raised and slaughtered overseas. It appears that after the first of this coming year, "Product of USA" will once again mean that the animals were born, raised and slaughtered in the United States of America. Unfortunately, this is not a mandatory ruling, so no country of origin is required to be put on the label. It is our hope that this small change will once again allow American farmers to differentiate domestic product from imported product.

“The benefit to the meatpackers today, when they do not have to disclose the origins of beef, is they can put beef in the meat counter from Brazil, Argentina… or from any one of the 20 countries we import beef from.” “And then they can sell that…right next to a domestic product and sell it as if it was a domestic product.” “Consumers are not choosing to buy the cheaper imported product.” “They do not know.” “In fact, that product is disguised as if it were a domestic product.” R-CALF USA CEO Bill Bullard breaks down how the lack of Mandatory Country-of-Origin Labeling (MCOOL) gives imported beef an advantage while leaving Americans in the dark about what they’re buying. American ranchers should not have to compete against cheaper imported beef that consumers cannot clearly distinguish from beef raised here at home. Consumers deserve to know where their beef was born, raised, and slaughtered before they spend their money. Restoring MCOOL gives Americans that choice while allowing our ranchers to compete on a level playing field. R-CALF USA Lonesome Lands

USDA Allows 'Product of USA' Labels On Grass Fed Beef That Never Lived On American Soil. Almost 90% Of American Market Grass Fed Beef Is Imported From 20+ Foreign Countries. Once The Foreign Meat Enters The US, Repackaging It Makes It 'Legal' To Qualify As A 'Product Of USA.' The elimination of country of origin labeling for meat caused American producers’ share of the grass fed cattle market to decline from 60% to less than 15% in just a few years. In 2015, the Obama administration’s USDA rolled back Country of Origin Labeling (COOL) for beef & pork products, allowing meat to be sold without disclosing what country it came from, on the label. Under current rules, beef & pork products that are shipped to the United States can be labeled “product of U.S.A.,” even when the animal was raised on another continent. A steer that is born, raised & processed in Uruguay can be cut into steaks or ground up & repackaged at a meatpacking plant in Colorado & is labeled as American meat—even when it isn’t. "The very idea of labeling beef in a grocery store ‘product of U.S.A.,’ when the animal never drew a breath of air on this continent, is just horrible,” says Will Harris, owner of White Oak Pastures, which produces its branded line of grass-fed beef in Bluffton, Georgia." "I don’t begrudge importers or producers from other countries selling to knowing consumers that want to buy that imported product. But I’m appalled at what the deception has done to the economies of our ranchers." Imported grass fed beef brands are taking advantage of a legal ambiguity—& some are downright deceptive. 3 powerful meatpackers...JBS, Tyson & Cargill, are deceptively using the law that allows use of the “Product of USA” label even when the beef & pork was born, raised & processed in a foreign country. Once the meat enters the U.S. it undergoes repackaging or what the USDA refers to as 'value added.' 'Value Added' is a loophole term that if the foreign beef & pork has been sliced, cut, ground or repackaged on American soil, then it is legally labeled as 'product of the USA.' Now, more than ever, it is crucial for our health & in support of American farmers & ranchers...to buy local, to purchase from small reputable butcher shops & to order from online grass fed beef shipping ranchers. 👇USDA Food Labeling Policy Book👇 👇Foreign Meat Contamination Found In US👇 👇Imported Beef Found To Be Contaminated👇 Speakers: Will & Jenni Harris of White Oak Pastures Video: Investearnsave Podcast: Joe Rogan

IMPORTANT 🚨 American Voters, Democrats are planning on force medicating you through your food. this is not a conspiracy theory, this is 100% real “There are mechanisms to get vaccines into your system through your stomach.

“PRODUCT OF THE USA” IS A LIE Shad Sullivan says American consumers are being deceived about where their beef really comes from. In Episode 97 of Going Rogue with Lara Logan, the fifth-generation Texas cattle rancher explains how foreign beef can enter the country, be processed or repackaged in the United States and then appear to consumers as an American product. For Shad, mandatory country-of-origin labeling is about more than transparency. It is about protecting the consumer’s freedom to know where their food comes from and choose what they are willing to buy.

American Ranchers Are Desperately Trying To Educate The American People That They Are Being Replaced By Foreign Imports Thanks To Lobbyists Selling Them Out Legally a “Product of the USA can now be imported from overseas — The US cattle industry is at an all time low” “There's some interesting and concerning stuff happening in the US cattle industry. Did you know meat is being imported into the US from overseas and being marketed as a product of the USA? The US cattle industry is at an all time low. It's a result of things like extreme drought, beef cost rising, and inflation. Cattle prices are at an all time high, which drives the price of beef. But this isn't necessarily a good thing for ranchers. This just means the 4 large corporations who control 85 percent of the US beef market, 2 of them Brazilian owned, will import meat from other countries where they can source it cheaper. And because of our own laws, if it is repackaged in any way, it can be labeled product of the USA. This is especially unsettling for ground beef that can come from multiple countries, from different ages, and different breeds of older cows that any sort of untraceable diet. That shrimp can be frozen for who knows how long and imported in droves, then thawed and mixed in a large vat in a large processing plant with literally hundreds of different DNA samples landing in 1 pound of ground beef. Importing and exporting is not the problem. Americans like their hamburger, but not their heart. Traditional export markets are good for ranchers to get a premium for the unusual cuts that are more widely desired in foreign markets. But the American consumer deserves to know where their meat comes from and how it was raised. And there is an answer. Buy directly from a rancher in the USA. Find a ranch you can buy direct from locally or one who ships to your doorstep and start ordering now and trusting the source of the food you feed your family.”

The label says “Product of USA.” That doesn’t mean what you think it does. This is exactly why ranchers are disappearing… and why Americans don’t know where their food comes from anymore. We’re taking it back. The American Rancher Alliance is rebuilding a transparent, American-controlled beef supply chain — from ranch to grocery store. No more blind trust. 👉 If you care about your food, now is the time.

There is talk about domesticated food animals soon being vaccinated with #mRNA. We want our customers to know that we will not vaccinate our animals with #mRNAvaccines. We believe there is a time and place for vaccinations, but they must be used sparingly. If livestock are raised in an environment where they can express their natural instincts, they probably won't need many (if any) vaccines. We hope to one day move away from all vaccines on our farm- we are close, but not there yet. Everyone should know that over 80% of the antibiotics produced today are consumed by domesticated food animals. You read that right, even considering all of the antibiotics humans are prescribed, it's not even 20% of what's produced goes to people-the rest administered to food animals. It would only make sense that in order for vaccine companies to move from "very profitable" to "obscenely profitable" would be to capture the animal agriculture market. I'm not sure that this would ever pass legislation, but law or not, Big Ag is highly influenced by Big Pharma. The multinational meat companies would certainly choose to mandate this if there was an opportunity for a shared profit. In closing, please know: We don't believe in a blanket, one-size-fits-all approach to our health or our livestock. We will not add vaccinations for our livestock- we are moving in the other direction hoping to give fewer. (And, we already give very few). If this is adopted and there is a "panic" for food from livestock that hasn't had the MRNA vaccine, we will choose to honor the demand from our loyalty members and employees first. If you are not a part of that group, we cannot guarantee we will have any product for you. We are certainly not trying to promote panic- but, we do intend to notify our customers of how we will operate in times of growing demand. We screwed up during the pandemic- we won't do that again.

The multinational meat companies would certainly choose to mandate this if there was an opportunity for a shared profit. In closing, please know: We don't believe in a blanket, one-size-fits-all approach to our health or our livestock. We will not add vaccinations for our livestock- we are moving in the other direction hoping to give fewer. (And, we already give very few). If this is adopted and there is a "panic" for food from livestock that hasn't had the MRNA vaccine, we will choose to honor the demand from our loyalty members and employees first. If you are not a part of that group, we cannot guarantee we will have any product for you. We are certainly not trying to promote panic- but, we do intend to notify our customers of how we will operate in times of growing demand. We screwed up during the pandemic- we won't do that again.

Marc Andreessen on the 3 things he looks for when investing in a startup The first thing Marc Andreesen looks for is a big market: “Is there a big existing market that you think you can go after and displace incumbents? Or do you believe there will be a new market that will be big?” The second thing he looks for is a 10x better product: “Is there a fundamental technology or economic change that justifies a new company? And the way I always think about that is: Is there a 10x change happening in the technology landscape? Is something 10x faster, 10x cheaper, or 10x better? If it’s not 10x, we as both VCs and entrepreneurs have to ask ourselves if it’s really worth doing because it’s really hard to start new companies . . . Existing companies are usually pretty good at what they do. So for a new company to exist, it has to bring a product to market that’s so much better than what exists that it punches through the status quo.” The third is the team: “Is the team outstanding? . . . You want to have a founding team of complementary skillsets. You want to have at least one super strong technologist — quite possibly more than one. Some of the best startups are actually more than one founding technologist. And then it often helps to have someone who is a marketing or salesperson who has a really good understanding of business.” Marc believes that you need all three of these, but if you’re going to compromise on one of those as an investor, it should be the product: “A great market is a lot easier to make up for with iterative product execution. The problem with a poor or small market is that even if you do a good job on the product, there just aren’t that many customers so it’s hard to ever get big and people get demoralized . . . And then we evaluate the team of a startup by its ability to get into a big market with a good product.”

Rahul Vohra on how to measure product/market fit Rahul Vohra is the founder and CEO of Superhuman. He was looking for a metric to measure product/market fit so that he and his team could optimize, and he came across the following methodology from Sean Ellis: Simply ask your users: “How would you feel if you could no longer use the product?” with three options: (1) not disappointed, (2) somewhat disappointed, or (3) very disappointed. It turns out that the benchmark for product/market fit across hundreds of venture-backed startups is 40% of respondents saying “very disappointed”. And as Rahul puts it: “If more than 40% of your users would be very disappointed without your product, then you should focus on growing your company. If less than 40% of your users would be very disappointed without your product, then you’ll probably struggle to grow.” 40% may not sound like a lot, but it’s an incredibly hard benchmark to beat. For example, Slack posed this to 731 customers early in the company’s history, and 51% said they would be very disappointed without Slack. One might expect a terrific product like Slack to have a score of 60-80%, but that wasn’t the case. Rahul’s explanation of why the response options are focused on disappointment rather than happiness is interesting too: “I think the reason behind that is that if you ask people how they feel about a product and you give them positive potential responses, I think it invites more bias. People are more likely to be polite. And it also doesn’t get to the heart of the matter which is: how necessary has your product become in people’s lives? If you’re trying to build a company that’s going to stand the test of time, you really do have to build a product that matters and that people ultimately come to depend on because it’s just so incredible at what it does. And that’s what this question gets to the heart of.”

Jeff Bezos: “word-of-mouth is more powerful than it has ever been before” In this 2012 interview, Bezos argues this development has dramatic implications for business strategy: “In the past, if you were making a product, the right business strategy was to put 70% of your attention, energy, and dollars into marketing the product and 30% into building a great product. So you could win with a mediocre product if you were a good enough marketer. And I think that is getting harder to do.” He continues: “The right way to respond to this if you’re a company is to say, I’m going to put the vast majority of my energy, attention, and dollars into building a great product or service. And put a smaller amount into shouting about it (marketing). Because I know if I build a great product or service, my customers will tell each other.”

Scott Belsky on the most common mistake founders make when building a product “Every product has what we call a ‘first-mile experience’, which is the part of your product that the most customers will see. And it’s all drop-off from there. What gets people through the first-mile experience? First, you have to empathize with where that customer is at — whether they’re a consumer or an enterprise customer, in the first 30 seconds of that first mile of your product, I guarantee you, they’re lazy, vain, and selfish. They want to get through it fast. They want to look good to their boss or their friends or feel good about themselves. There needs to be some quick hit of feeling successful in that first mile for them to engage further.” Ironically, the first-mile experience is the last thing many companies and product people will focus on. “Typically it’s the final mile before you launch where you’re like, ‘Oh wait, what should the onboarding be?’ or ‘What should the defaults be?’ That’s like a happenstance conversation towards the end of shipping when in fact that’s the only thing that every customer will ever see. So why not nail that?” Scott takes this point even further: “If you can really just nail the first-mile experience of your product — even if after that it’s all kind of crappy — you’re probably in the top 1% of products out there.” Another interesting point Scott makes here is that optimizing the first-mile experience is something that you’ll have to continually work on because your customers change over time. “Your first cohort of customers that used your product, those were early adopters — and your first-mile experience was nailed for them. But [as you’ve grown] this new cohort of customers that started using your product are no longer early adopters. They’re pragmatists. They’re not coming because they like to test and try new products. They’re coming because their boss told them they had to or they read some blog that said this was the best product in the space, and the first-mile needs to be different for them.” Scott sums his point up as follows: “Spend consistent time, forever on that first-mile experience of your product.” Video source: South Park Commons (2025)
