Steak could become a champagne-type luxury because beef isn’t climate friendly to produce, the head of Europe’s top meat processor said.
Danish Crown CEO Jais Valeur told Denmark’s Berlingske newspaper on Monday that beef will eventually become a “luxury product” because of the climate impact of producing it.
“Beef is not going to be super climate friendly. It will be a bit like champagne, namely a luxury product,” Valeur said.
“The beef cattle will be a luxury product that we eat when we need to pamper ourselves.”
Valeur said the way people consume and think about meat is going to need to change in the coming years as meat processing companies face pressure to curb greenhouse gases in the fight against climate change.

True. We are fortunate here and in South America - Argentina. We have the room to raise cattle. Lots and lots of cattle. Europe does not have that room and most of their beef is imported. Hence, heavy on the pork and chicken.
“Soylent Green” wasn’t supposed to be a how-to story.
not because of global warming but because of govt global warming policies
they will definitely need to beef up their security
I live in rural Texas. If I run low on beef I can always buy a steer to butcher and store in my freezer.
Not me. But if y’all want to give up beef, I will be glad to dispose of what you don’t want.
In the biden economy, beef is already becoming so expensive that it is a luxury item for many!!!!
I am willing to eat grasshopper tacos for some Orthodox fasting days, provided the bugs are not infested with parasites, and are NOT priced as luxuries! Currently, they are only avaable at certain restaurants, and ARE more expensive than beef! PHOOEY!!!!
“Steak could become a ‘luxury product’ thanks to climate impact, CEO fears”
this isn’t really a problem: gazillionaires, Congress, and other elites will have all the steak they can eat ...
I’ve a freezer loaded with steaks...and Salmon fillets...
There’s no serious shortage but believe me, the steaks are not what they used to be. A very inferior grade of beef is being used, something that contains inedible material that has to eventually be taken out of your mouth after fruitless chewing rather than swallowed.
In NYC, anyway.
You have to go to a really expensive steak house to get real steak.
Things in Kansas and other places may be different.
Everything is awesome!
Biden getting us back on track….
obama oregon May 17 2008 “We can’t drive our SUVs and, you know, eat as much as we want and keep our homes on, you know, 72 degrees at all times, whether we’re living in the desert or we’re living in the tundra, and then just expect every other country is going to say OK, you know, you guys go ahead keep on using 25 percent of the world’s energy, even though you only account for 3 percent of the population, and we’ll be fine. Don’t worry about us. That’s not leadership. ~ Barack Obama
I remember that absolutely horrendous, totalitarian remark by Obama in Roseburg, Oregon. At the time, I figured he was done for.
I remember the points about not driving our SUVs and not heating our houses to 72 and expecting other countries to say they are OK with that. But I totally forgot he said we can’t eat as much as we want. What an effing tyrant telling us how much the GD government is going to ALLOW us to eat.
The tax comes when you purchase the Steer. The Rats already thought of self reliant Texans raising their own meat. 2 freinds of mine already bought 5 head at auction to fatten up on their own land. As far as I know there is no way to follow these cows if they slaughter them themselves. This tax is the “pay for” for the package. There will be a gas tax tacked on to what you already pay to subsidize windmills and E-cars. Just container to carry merch from China is now 20K per container, up from about $5K. Just guessing can get you up to 10+% inflation just this year. If the bill is passed, America as we know it is gone. It certainly affects people under $400k a year. We should know by Christmas how bad it will get. WalMart had no bottled water today. Nat Gas will at least double this winter. $5 gas is just a start.
It sure as hell wasn’t God. God made the Cattle!
Keep your cotton-pickin’ hands off of our steaks, ya tree-huggers.

Texas
