Dark times indeed, my friends....

[Dan 'Hampton]

Sucks for you! I got two currently sitting in my fridge.

Man, if the corn crop in america ever fails, we are all fucked up the ass

Most of the crops around here are failing due to drought. It's good for wine lovers though. They say the 2007 vintage of Virginia wines is going to KICK ASS!

Actually, they have to pump up cows with antibiotics to get them to eat corn. Its not natural for them, cows are designed to eat a grass diet. I'm sure there's plenty of grass around.

What kind of wines do they make in Virginia? Seriously. Certain regions are known for certain grapes (Upstate New York and sweeter wines or Oregonian Pinot Noirs)

I see what you did there, Funkman.

i was in Glenn Allen two weeks ago and stopped by an ABC liquor store. to my surprise i only saw Virginia wines on the shelf. i bought a couple and asked the cashier about why there were only Virginia wines. Can't recall the name of the wine but it was a red and it was very good...

We've really been moving up in the wine world. Ask any expert.

[Yuppie_Scum]

I farted in a mayonnaise jar just in case something like this were to happen.

WHO'S LAUGHING NOW!!!

Somewhere, surrounded by bean sprouts, Sheepy laughs diabolically.....

They have plenty of beef in Argentina and Japan.

[PapaBear]

Fez and Mikey D have plenty of beef.

[RobPendragon]

Plenty of deer around the area here. They make some tasty steaks.

[mikeyboy]

I like a really good steak a couple of times a year, but I eat so little red meat that this doesn't bother me too much.

[Snoogans]

how the fuck are we running out of something that we raise animals just to get. JUST RAISE MORE FUCKIN COWS

and start raising some fuckin alaskan king crabs, too. I got them twice on vacation and cost me like 35 bucks each time

[ralphbxny]

I am starvin...we have any shortage Steak back there??

Grass Fed Beef is a great alternative, plus it is not all that more expensive to raise them that the way most cows are raised now.

I did a paper on this for a Purchasing class and remember being shocked that more cattle raisers didn't do it all things considered.

[lleeder]

I think this article is just an excuse for Peter Lugers and Ben Bensons to offer cheap alternatives while jacking up the price on what people really want.

I think those bastards probably jacked up prices on the alternatives too, just to keep up with the potential for increasing demand.

looks like you'll have to order just a regular, ordinary " Rest Of The Country Strip "...

[envirogator]

Eddie, Eddie, Eddie....

while not more expensive it takes far longer (more than double) to get the cattle to slaughter. Sure it doesn't cost much more but it takes more time and you need far more area to raise the same number of cattle...You silly easterners...

[Servo]

This is so disappointing... eating a pork chop off a hooker's head just doesn't have the same appeal.

The cattle in Argentina are grass fed. You want to talk aboot a good fuckin' steak...

[FUNKMAN]

The cattle in Argentina are grass fed.

as opposed to the cattle in Colombia who get a gram a day...

[Hottub]

A lot of mules in Columbia.

[Midkiff]

To honor all of you New Yorkers in this time of pain and suffering, I'm gonna go to the Argentinean restaurant around the corner and eat a huge fucking mountain of Argentinean steak.

I'm a hero, I know. No thanks needed.
