That's why I said "
Obviously beef is simpler than that". There was also another point in my post. That an expensive German manufacturer would build their largest plant in the US, staff it with native born non-union southern people, and EXPORT 70% of those cars with many of them going to CHINA. While US manufacturers shut down domestic facilities, manufacture in CHINA and export to the US. Sometimes I get carried away and weave in another topic. Sorry for the confusion.
Extra topic - I also read that some people take their cattle to US dis-assembly processors and end up not getting all the parts, like livers and hides. And suspect they may have lost some burger.
