To be fair… It always is.
Quotes and sources within and outside of Argentina news. (if you allow me to use the internet now for proof). It just takes a quick search for pages on info on it. Feel free and try the same.
They are eating donkeys now in Argentina and marketing it as beef is getting expensive
Chubut producer Julio Cittadini’s “Burros Patagones” project began commercial sales of donkey meat in April at 7,500 pesos per kilogram, compared to approximately 18,564 pesos per kilogram for beef — roughly 40% of the bovine price.
With beef prices hitting 25,000 pesos, the legalization of donkey slaughter reveals the rawest side of the Casa Rosada’s fiscal adjustment.

Argentina Crisis: Donkey meat consumption … — Diário Carioca https://share.google/lGO5UoHG14GREBueU
Chillll… Its just donkey meat and the internet. The government does in fact talk about it. They publish reports about animal meat production and consumption like every nation. It’s part of their annual reports that prove a point that I really don’t care about at all. If you want to say they only eat cow in Argentina because you know best and no one can use internet sources to prove you wrong… Fine. Great. I don’t know what to say. You won this internet battle! Yay!
Uhhhh… I have been to Argentina. I was there a long time. Can’t say I saw donkey meat. Also doesn’t mean it is not there, or eaten. All I can do it tell you what the Argentinien government has to say about it.
Unfortunately as I apparently can’t research it online… And I live in Germany… I can’t fulfill your request as it would require me to go to Argentina to satisfy some dude on reddit. Sorry dude? Don’t know what you want.
That was simply a average. But the shop does matter, being why averages help.
I had the same thought. Wallow Whitman National forest? North Matthieu Lake?
What was your guess?
This is usually the case. There seems to be a nugget of truth in it, but articles always make it seem larger than life. Horse mule and donkey meat consumption is in fact up. Is it significant - no. Is it common, also no. Is it a THING? Na, no it’s not a thing. It’s simply slightly higher than it was before but still very rare.
It doesn’t make sense for it to be a common thing as there simply is not enough donkeys in the country, even if you were to slaughter them all for it is be common. Apparently there is 59k donkeys and 50,920,790 cows in Argentina. There seems to be a 7-16% increase in the slaughter of donkeys for meat although this number seems to be in question. It apparently is a third the cost of cow meat.
I’m not in the UK but in Germany. That seems low and Germans are cheap AF. I usually expect things to be more expensive there. I don’t know about Googles overview, but this is what Google has to say.
The average price of beef in the UK varies significantly by cut, with current retail prices for primary cuts typically ranging between £9.00 and £19.00 per kg. As of April 2026, retail beef prices have seen a sharp increase of approximately 16.4% year-on-year due to supply shortages
The average price of ground beef (mince) in the UK has risen significantly, with retail prices typically ranging from £6.18 to £11.00 per kg as of April 2026
21·2 months agoMeh. I saw someone being interviewed who didn’t know who hilter was. Apparently genuine. They even gave hints. When the interviewer told her who he is, she wasn’t even shocked or just having a brain fart. She blamed it on her history teacher…
7·2 months agoDon’t. Just don’t. Trust me there are things you can’t unsee.
Don’t.
Yes. Thank you. When I was a bee keeper I learned some about the things. Do honey bees have various issues and struggles … Sure. Are the large varieties of native wild bees soooo much more fucked - yep. Yes they are.
Tuna was not always popular and when people didn’t know what it was it helped people know what they are buying. The US also having a large portion of bilingual people with a Spanish base, this helps it not get confused with cactus fruit (apparently tuna in Spanish)
Why is it soooo tempting to do?! Everytime I see one that voice in the back of my head says to take it… They won’t notice…
Wait a minute now… What if that is not cow milk but a milk alternative? Oatmilk, rice milk or almond milk. Could a alternative milk not be a broth?
15·9 months agoThe big problem is that they know. They know they are making the violence, and unfairly complaining about it. Pointing it out changes nothing for them.
They know and they say it anyways and don’t care if they are wrong because it works. It is unfortunately working.
Has anyone else ever had this happen? Is this just a joke made for clicks and likes? I saw this many years ago (and likely this exact one as it’s from 2019) and I thought this isn’t a thing. My thought now, this isn’t a thing.
Buuuttt… You more or less did say that. This is what you said - “Regular, unpackaged, German bread doesn’t contain added sugar though”
And Haha no worries my man, I simply had the time. The thing is… regular supermarket bread in your area does have added sugar. That is the point. It is not region dependant. It does in northern Germany, it does in southern Germany, east and west. It does in your bio-markt, it does in Aldi, it does at netto, it does at rewe. The common default is added sugar in one variety or another. It is rare, so rare it is much harder to find an exception to that rule. Grocery stores almost all have mass produced bread - mass produced bread has added sugar for a lot of good reasons.
I can chime in here (I work in plant based meat). It should be but it’s not. Why… Lots of reasons. But basicly it’s split between animal based meat is artificially cheap and plant based meat costs a lot to make. A lot of the costs (for the good brands) are in the flavorings.
