I'll pile on. They threw their weight in and fought back against the tariffs also: https://www.npr.org/2025/12/03/nx-s1-5628405/costco-sues-the-trump-administration-over-tariffs

Costco is a good, socially responsible corporation, most aren't.

I feel slightly out of touch here, what's up with this Trump Mystery Meat?

[–] kieron115@startrek.website 54 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

the big orange man wants americans to have government subsidized hamburgers so people think that food costs arent as insane as they are, but he refuses to say where he's getting it from. the general consensus seems to be that he's allowing the import of a bunch of meat that was rejected by other countries for failing to meet quality standards. because that's how you help struggling cattle ranchers, after all.

Word is the mystery meat is all that Argentine beef that was recalled recently.

[–] Jaysyn@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

The meat was rejected by China due to the high amount of neurotoxic antibiotics they detected in it.

So, USA is getting meats that china rejected? Lol the irony

Also, they've been rounding up wild horses too so we've got that possibility as well as the Argentina tainted beef.

I might have to go vegetarian if this is the future of meat thanks to Trump.

If you can afford to gamble $25 on the advice of an Internet stranger, do this:

  • Buy a 4lb bag of Vital Wheat gluten. (Can be aquired on Anthony's Goods website.)

  • Mix it about 50-50 with water, and just... do stuff with it.

  • Example1: Mix 350 grams of gluten powder with 450 grams of water (Optional 5 grams of MSG) and stir it together until it's a big blob. Pick it up and stretch it in every possible direction and knead the absolute shit out of it. Divide into 7 portions, and place on a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 250°F/120°C for about 2 hours. You now have a 50 grams of protein blob for each day of the week, to be sliced and dovided however you wish throughout the day.

  • Example2: Get a ripping hot skillet and dump in Some™ gluten powder and Approximately® twice as much water and vigorously stir it with, like, a fork or something like that, and dump some cooking oil on it as an afterthought, and dump some spices in it and boil off all the water to make a fake Taco meat mix. If it sticks, take it off the heat and add a splash of water to unstick it, and it's okay to jave juicy taco seitan crumbles. You actually cannot fuck this up.

Enjoy.

Eat beans! Vast majority of people are getting too little fiber. Don't think wheat gluten has any either.

If only I could shop at Costco without having to go near Costco....

[–] Wunz@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

In case you are serious, they have a website and mobile app and they deliver most things they have in the warehouse. Some things are only available on the app/website.

[–] ironpangolin29@lemmy.ca 13 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

The meat comes from Russia I'd wager . The CIA director travelled on the c17 Globemaster heavy lift aircraft to deliver Fort Knox as payment.

(I'm being conspiracy sarcastic btw)

[–] Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 5 points 6 days ago

If you didn't say you were being sarcastic, you could probably get bluanon types to run with it.

trump always seems to send the dangerous stuff to racial minority areas beware if you eat beef in one of these areas.
