Good point, ever report has to be understood AFTER understanding the scale of the subject.To put this in perspective, US beef cattle is estimated at around 30 million head. Doesn't mean that there won't be price games, of course. Never let a crisis go to waste.
Like the strategic oil reserves, 500+ million barrels. Sounds huge. But in scale, best case, is still not a month of supply. If we are engaged in war, it will get used up far faster than that.
