Study Funded by Beef Industry Finds Plant Protein Comparable to Meat

A study funded by the beef industry intended to show the superiority of animal protein over plant protein instead found no significant difference in muscle protein synthesis between the two. The study, which involved 17 women consuming different protein sources, revealed that even "incomplete" plant proteins can effectively stimulate muscle growth. This adds to the growing body of evidence supporting the nutritional adequacy of plant-based diets, despite industry efforts to promote animal protein.

"US Cattle Inventory Reaches Record Low, Impact on Beef Industry"

The U.S. Department of Agriculture reports that the American beef cattle inventory has hit a record low, with nationwide numbers dropping to the lowest level since the 1970s due to persistent drought, high input costs, and inflation. Ranchers are facing challenges as demand for beef remains strong, but costs have escalated, leading to rising prices for consumers. Farmers in states like Texas, Nebraska, Kansas, California, and Oklahoma have been particularly affected, with feed prices soaring and some having to reduce their herd size.
