This masthead reported last week that Australian officials believe biosecurity rules could be tweaked to allow US beef into Australia, a key demand of the Trump administration, without compromising safety.

I will literally never knowingly buy US beef as long as I live. I'd prefer to eat tofu.

Tofu is pretty good when prepared well. Very low chance of contracting some fucked disease too.

Neither will I, but honestly if I remember I don't think the biosecurity rules around imported beef here are that important (that isn't to say biosecurity itself isn't important). Neither are exports to America though. TBH these trade talks don't seem to matter at all.

What about those times of the year when local beef is out of season?
