Hey, all you North Americans, please stop eating so many hamburgers! We Kiwis want to be able to afford to eat NZ grown beef too! price of beef mince soars by 18%:

"New Zealand exports most of our beef, 80-odd percent, and … the most volume is going over to the United States, where their cattle herd is at sort of multi-decade lows.

"… they're short of this lean trim product, … so our local retailers are having to pay more to get hold of that product because they're competing against global buyers and that's really pushing those mince prices up.

@Miraz There’s no hamburger buying in this household! We mostly avoid meat because of insanely high costs but mostly because of my… borderline (?) germaphobia

@rpmik Sounds smart! 😁
