McDonalds buys beef internationally, they're not using American beef where they can avoid paying for it
im surprised by this. i assumed home-grown beef was cheaper
Beef is resource intensive. Better to have poor countries waste their cheaper resources than to pay for domestic resources.
Shipping is also really cheap, even refrigerated. The last mile is one of the biggest costs, so the next state over and the other side of the world have quite similar costs and carbon emissions.
