First day lunch in Bangkok was Chicken Rice from @BoonTongKee_TH and a burger from Bun Meat & Cheese. Both in The Commons Saladang. Both delicious 😋 
Can’t visit Bangkok and not go straight to @MK_Restaurants and get the mixed plate of crispy pork, red pork and roast duck!
Crab wonton and red pork soup at @TERMINAL21asok food court and also a plate of roast duck, crispy pork and red pork. Got two portions minus rice for 80bath. Super cheap food court! #Bangkok #food #foodblogger
Gorsuch's question suggests he is willing to limit dormant Commerce Clause to pure discrimination. Seems like Republican Justices did not take #Prop12 case to side with #hog industry, but to increase state's power to pass laws.
Gorsuch compares @NPPC & @FarmBureau to Lochner. That's the #SCOTUS equivalent of saying "come on man."
Also asks why courts should get into policy balancing as required by #BigAg's rule.
Calling it now #Prop12 stands, at least 6-3 (Dems + Thomas, Barrett, Gorsuch).

May get a dissent saying that the Courts should have applied Pike balancing by Alito and Barrett and saying it should survive a motion to dismiss. But, that's it.
At Sentient Media, we report on an industry that touches all our lives yet operates in secrecy: factory farming.

“Ag-gag” laws punish whistleblowers and investigators for recording footage inside #FactoryFarms.

Cheeseburger in U.S, explains bigger grocery bill of American consumers. they r seeing food prices rise at the fastest rate in decades. Supply chain snarls, labor shortages & climate challenges (plus the conflict in Ukraine) share the blame, but the main culprit is #Consolidation
Beef
Beef costs 16% more Vs March 2021.
Tyson, JBS, National & Cargill have been accused of increasing prices on meat products while keeping rancher profits low, they control over 80 % of the beef supply chain.
4 companies owning 80% beef supply is "pure" consolidation guys !

1. More thoughts on protein in human nutrition. Remember that cereals supply a greater proportion of crude protein in humanity's diet than all animal source foods (ASF), combined.
2. Wheat provides almost half of that portion, a greater amount than any single ASF!
3. But the quality of that protein is poor, especially for children...
An unprecedented amount of #soybeans are headed from South America to Asia right now. #Brazil shipped an unheard-of 16.3 million tonnes of soybeans in April, including 11.8 million to #China.
Such a big difference in traffic from seven weeks ago.

Another cool view, looking at all vessels carrying ag goods, January 30 vs. May 11. Most of the traffic, esp. on May 11, is #soybeans heading from #Brazil to #China.
Not much #corn shipped lately, but Brazil's #pork exports have easily hit records every month so far in 2020.

Another anecdote about these graphics.... there were SO MANY vessels in view that I had a really hard time getting them to all display at once (and not just say, "200 vessels in this area"), especially with #soybeans. Had to expertly maneuver the view. Has never happened before!

#China agreeing to make $50 billion in U.S. agricultural purchases in 2020.
The RECORD value for annual U.S. ag product exports to China was in 2012 at just under $26 billion. Compare commodity prices then and now. For reference, 2017 was $19.5 billion.

And if you consider Ag & Related Products (includes fish & forestry products) - max was $29 billion in 2013. So this is the absolute max previous ceiling considering all exports that could be considered ag.
I'm not seeing how $50B is possible in 2020.

In less than 12 months, the Chinese government convened four national meetings on the pig industry. Why does China conduct such dynamic studies and update related policies so frequently? Said CF40 member Lu Feng, 1/6 cf40.org.cn/uploads/newsle…
The moves were against a back drop of rare fluctuations in live pig supplies and the pork market. Pork price in China rose by more than 70% over the past six months,while the year-on-year growth rate in late August climbed to as high as 53.3% 2/6
The recent steep rise in pork price is expected to continue unless unusually strong and effective measures are rolled out. 3/6
The past few rounds of inflation reflects the support of monetary expansion, which is not the case for the current round, said CF40 Senior Fellow Zhang Bin, 1/7 mp.weixin.qq.com/s/x4MFB_mc_1sj…
In the past few rounds, the prices of food, non-food and PPI have generally increased, while this round is characterized by a #Pork-driven rise in food price, and prices of other goods and services have generally fallen. 2/7
The main reason for the past few rounds of inflation is that demand is too strong, and this round of #CPI rise is a supply shock. 3/7
#China’s #pork price rose sharply in August, by more than 125% compared with January, and is expected to continue to rise in short- and mid-term due to shortage in the supply of live pigs, according to CF40 advisor Lu Feng: mp.weixin.qq.com/s/oFbVcnCOxlFz… 1/5
In recent years, in particular last year, stock of live #pigs in China dropped sharply, which signals significant decline in pork production in China. Increasing pork production would also be difficult in near future due to decline in the number of breeding sows. 2/5
At present, the pork production system is overloaded and could threaten future production capability. Other meat price would also rise due to the rise of pork price. 3/5
