Once upon a time, you paid 50 bucks for a steak

only if your waiter wore a tux. Now, you pay

it under fluorescent lights at the supermarket.

America has over half a million cattle ranches,

but almost all that beef must pass through just

four processors controlling about 85% of the

market. Two of them, JBS and National Beef,

are effectively controlled from Brazil. Brazil

is the world's biggest beef exporter. China

is the world's biggest buyer. That means China

ends up setting the price of dinner in America.

Ranchers get less, you pay more, profits flow

overseas. That's why Donald Trump has ordered

the Department of Justice to act. Americans

didn't vote to have their dinner prices set

overseas. They voted for leaders willing to

break cartels and bring steak back to the dinner

table without a tux.
