    25-30 kg per capita is enough for healthy nutrition.

    the demand and supply curve will surely help the price. something like this happened with the soy and oil prices. in any case the drop in consumption might also help people's health and the health care cost to hospitals.

    There is plenty of beef to provide internal supply, but the horrible increase in cost of living and the corresponding increase in the price of meat is forcing Argentines to cut down on their beef intake.

    I agree. The costs are ridiculous. I rarely buy beef any more. It's chicken these days and that's expensive too.

    Inbreeding linked to recessive or deleterious traits.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inbreeding

    Isolated groups... this concerns you Kelpers, read up.

    “Among genetic populations that are isolated, opportunities for exogamy are reduced. Isolation may be geographical, leading to inbreeding among people in remote mountain valleys. Or isolation may be social, induced by the lack of appropriate partners, such as Protestant princesses for Protestant royal heirs, in which case inbreeding is desired. Since the late Middle Ages, it is the urban middle class that has had the widest opportunity for outbreeding and the least desire to inbreed.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inbreeding

    Good luck royal inbreeds.

    Argentine beef is cr*p. Only fit for carniverous animals. Humans take note. Argentine beef WILL seriously damage your health.

    “Are the Falklanders inbred or planted”

    Both sticky...

    9,

    I would answer if I knew what you were trying to say.

    10,

    Too much red meat will cause health issues, any red meat. Unless of course your arteries can tell the difference between Argentine red meat and anyone else's red meat.

    Go play with your rubber ducky and your yellow submarine in the bathtub, typhony stupid boy.
