Beef Quotations

Talk of joy: there may be things better than beef stew and baked potatoes and home-made bread - there may be.

I come from Yorkshire in England where we like to eat chip sandwiches - white bread, butter, tomato ketchup and big fat french fries cooked in beef dripping.

When cattle ranchers clear rain forests to raise beef to sell to fast-food chains that make hamburgers to sell to Americans, who have the highest rate of heart disease in the world (and spend the most money per GNP on health care), we can say easily that business is no longer developing the world. We have become its predator.

Human insulin differs from other mammalian types by having a different C-terminal amino acid on the B chain. The immunological difference between beef insulin and human insulin, which is presumably responsible for the antigenicity of the former in some human beings, is thus limited to very a small portion of the whole molecule.

You know, it's hard to beat bacon at anytime of day. But I also am a big fan of corned beef hash.

It had been my idea that a combination of purebred cattle and horses could be successful from an economic standpoint - in Maryland. Maryland is not a cattle state. To raise beef cattle successfully, you've got to be able to raise cheap feed.

A hunk of beef raised on Scottish moorland has a very different ecological footprint from one created in an intensive feedlot using concentrated cereal feed, and a wild venison or rabbit casserole is arguably greener than a vegetable curry.

I usually eat in my friend Tom Corcoran's place - the Siam Thai in Monkstown. I go there for a very large plate of beef in red wine sauce.

I transitioned to being a vegan slowly. I took out beef and chicken first and did research on alternative forms of protein. Then after a few months, I gave up something else but added in new things. You need to bring in new food when you take away the old food you are giving up. Learn about what foods you should be eating.

Chicken fat, beef fat, fish fat, fried foods - these are the foods that fuel our fat genes by giving them raw materials for building body fat.

Corned beef and cabbage - that's our favorite holiday meal when all the O' Haras gather around the table.

Our cattlemen have given us the safest, most abundant, most affordable beef supply in the world and I trust their judgment. And if you look at consumer confidence in this country, so does the American public.

There is no good reason for our cattle producers to have such limited market access. Our beef is the best in the world, and we need to be allowed to reach global markets.

The energy in the banjo, and the beef in the bass. They're good tools to express yourself.

And roast beef and Yorkshire pudding is my personal signature dish.

Yes, beef is what was for dinner last night. Tonight it will be my dinner, and it will continue to be.

I hate fussing about in the kitchen when I have people over to supper, so I make a rich beef stew cooked in wine with carrots, sundried tomato paste and chopped chorizo sausage.

A lot of beefs in the music industry are caused from miscommunication and just not really understanding what's going on, having people in your ear saying this is what somebody did, or this is what somebody did to you.

The best proof of the high quality of American beef is the continued negative BSE findings supported by the highest surveillance possible. The administration should be working to increase our surveillance of BSE, not scaling it back.

I joined PETA for minks and dogs. I need my beef, my chicken, my seafood.

It takes less land to grow a pound of broccoli than it does a pound of beef. Less land to grow a pound of grain than a pound of beef. Less water, less energy.

Beef also was difficult to be procured and exceedingly poor; the price nearly sixpence farthing per pound.

I've been through a lot of beef with other singers, but it's all verbal.

For a slim, sexy body, it's important to eat protein every day - preferably at every meal. Be sure to ask about the origins of your meat, poultry and seafood. If you can't afford organic, free-range meats, opt for natural poultry, pork, and beef that's raised without antibiotics or hormones.

Yes, a cheeseburger and fries is probably my favourite meal. But I don't eat ground beef anymore.

I eat the same foods almost every day. I have my favorites like Filipino beef broth, chicken soup with lots and lots of rice.

Why not mix this and that? If soy goes well with fish, how come no one does beef carpaccio with soy? Why do we have such a taste and not another? It's all about culture. There is something, however, that I really don't like: bell peppers.

I bashed myself. I cut myself. I caught on fire. I fell: I had been myopically focused on peeling garlic, and hadn't noticed a bin of beef at my feet until I walked into it.

Japan's inexplicable lack of response to even consider a move to re-open their market to U.S. beef will sorely tempt economic trade action against Japan.

Border security is a complex issue and will remain a top priority during the 2007 legislative year. As Congress works to fix this problem, I will continue to push for strong measures that beef up security at our borders.

But it's not just the cattle producers, it's all the attendant industries like transport and shipping and feed producers and the like. There will be enormous ramifications across the beef industry generally as a result of the Government's decision to ban all exports to all of the abattoirs in Indonesia.

My point is this, the Government made this decision to ban totally beef exports into Indonesia, even to compliant abattoirs and this will have enormous consequences for the beef cattle industry across Australia.

First and foremost, you have to remember that restaurants are businesses and they have to stay in business. And though everyone thinks they want grass fed beef, most people actually prefer the taste of corn fed - it is less dry, more marbled, and less gamey, not to mention much less expensive than grass fed.

This is my one beef with Hollywood: It's great for movie sales, but they've created this fiction for us that, when you have a hard thing in your life, it's going to get fixed, and then your life will be awesome! Forever!

As I got older and more educated about things like chemicals in food and how beef is processed, I simply stopped eating certain things because it felt like the right thing to do.

I see people having fits because their coffee is too hot or their baked potato is too cold, or some random something is imperfect and somebody can be blamed for it. These people can fly off the handle and nobody says, 'Too much beef will do that to a person.' If it's a vegan: a clear case of alfalfa sprout poisoning.

I eat fish and love bacon. Plus, I don't mind if soups are made with chicken or beef stock, I just don't like eating big pieces of meat.

I'm not 18 anymore, so I'm not into starting unnecessary beefs. It's tacky.

An orchard can grow pastured poultry underneath. A beef cattle or sheep farm can run pastured poultry behind the herbivores, like the egret on the rhino's nose.

More detailed rules and measures are needed to beef up corporate governance. Now investors are eager to know when new share sales can resume and whether big-cap companies traded overseas will come back.

Nobody loves the Boston Marathon as much as the people who make fun of it year after year. This was the race that previously offered as a prize a not particularly expensive medal, a laurel wreath, and a bowl of beef stew. This was the race that, on one memorable occasion, nobody knew who actually won.

One time they yelled cut, and we were just going at it, but we were like, this is some real stuff, we got some beef to work out.

No other state in the nation stands to derive as much of an economic stimulus from the opening of the Asian beef market as Nebraska. However, economic gains are going to be slow going as food-processing firms attempt to re-establish a beef presence in these foreign markets.

My friend created an iPhone app that locates Vienna Beef products across the country. Personally, I came hardwired with an internal GPS that instinctively points me toward coffee shops, cupcake stores and the perfect Chicago-style dog, so I find this technology redundant.

I don't have a beef with him at all. I've never had a problem with him. I just set a screen, and I didn't even try to put anything into it. I just tried to brace myself. He's a strong guy.

I got some beef broth that'll taste real good about now.

If we could do over the issue of the beef plant, I think it was just the location.

There are small but significant amounts of these foods on the Australian market -- around 1000 tonnes per annum, which accounts for only 0.2 per cent of beef consumed annually in Australia,

Given the expected efficiencies of the new processing floor at Dakota City and the anticipated improvements in capacity utilization, we believe this is the right strategic decision. The consolidation will enhance the performance of our beef business, both now during this time of challenging market conditions and later when these conditions improve.

I am very concerned about the actions of USDA to close beef processing plants in Montana. The timing of this action is disturbing. We hope USDA is not taking this action in retribution for MCA, R-CALF USA and Governor Schweitzer's recent actions to protect the Montana cow herd from Canadian bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). Governor Schweitzer purchased a 4-H pig during the Lewis and Clark County Fair, and that carcass is hanging at the Butte plant targeted for closure by USDA.

I did not expect the latest incident to happen as I had believed the Japanese government would conduct inspections and make sure (that the conditions for beef imports were sufficiently met) before the actual importing.

From a nutritional point of view, beef is a good food - as long as you don't overdo it. Back when cowboys were out working all day long, servings like that (20-ounce steak) were fine, but watching portion size is one of the best things you can do to watch your weight.

I can hang with the dudes because I love beef and baseball and driving fast and flirting. I understand where men are coming from, and I'm interested in typically male endeavors. But I can also wear the short skirt and cheerlead.

I even like Taco Bell. I love the beef burrito supreme. I don't like their tacos, but I'll go there every once in a while, sure.

Global protein sector challenges continued during the past quarter. High poultry inventories depressed retail poultry prices and contributed to declines in pork pricing in the US, although US pork industry volumes increased over last year. At the same time, extraordinarily high US live cattle costs in relation to finished box beef prices, combined with a continued lack of access to major Asian export markets, limited our beef operating results.

Gloves are essential when removing ribs of beef from the oven.

For too long, Japan has been dragging its feet as it ignores the steps the U.S. has made to ensure a safe beef supply and shows a disregard for our prior trade pacts.

If beef is your idea of ""real food for real people"" you'd better live real close to a real good hospital.

If it wasn't for R-CALF, folks, we would have been taking not just cattle but beef from a country that had BSE. We would have been taking food that every other modern consuming country had banned and we wouldn't even be labeling it.

Based on the assumption that all precautions are taken as requested, we consider the difference in risk between U.S. and Japanese beef to be extremely small.

We thought we had a legitimate beef with the way they were playing Dirk. When you don't complain, sometimes it can give the message that you don't care.

We look forward to knowing the results of that investigation. The United States has every intention of living up to the letter of our recent agreement in regard to beef imports into Japan and we will work closely with the appropriate authorities here in Japan and in the United States to ensure there is no repetition of this mistake.

We lost our top runner and had to move Travis Thompson from wingback to tailback. And we were going against a lot of beef up front there. They really packed it in there, and we couldn't get anything going.

I find that people are wanting to cook more, garden more, but are not sure how to start. They are surprised to see a fresh bay leaf that they don't have to pick out of beef stew. They are really excited to learn that they can cook with the roses in their garden.

We're probably the shortest team so we really have to beef up our frontline.

Listen, I'm 41 years old. I've got two kids. I've got a career. The last thing I need to be doing is having a beef with A Tribe Called Quest. It's silly and it was unnecessary. It ain't the first time that a director hasn't seen eye to eye with a subject and it ain't going to be the last time.

Relatively few people even recognize that there are beef ribs. However, when Texans talk ribs, they are, as a rule, talking beef which is no surprise from Texans, who consider all barbecue to be beef.

Japan needs to follow through with its promises. The continued embargo costs the U.S. beef industry $100 million a month. If Japan is going to keep throwing up roadblocks, we need to take retaliatory action.

Manufacturing job losses in the second half of 2005 pushed Arkansas' overall job growth for the fourth quarter to zero. However, Arkansas firms ... benefiting from the opening of the Japanese and other Asian beef markets, and J.B. Hunt Transport, profiting from the U.S. economic expansion, will drive Arkansas job growth higher in the first half of 2006.

It is far more likely that you will die from a heart attack caused by eating a lot of beef than you would from BSE.

Last fall, Swift & Co. unveiled a new strategic vision to become the best red meat provider in the world. Important components of that vision included the need for innovation and operational excellence. Today, we are announcing investments in our Greeley beef plant that will expand our innovative value-added processing capabilities and strengthen our competitive position in the marketplace.

Our chicken segment generated solid results and prepared foods improved, while pork struggled and beef further deteriorated, producing significant operating losses.

I think it's a little early to tell what the economic impact will be. This year our cattle prices have been particularly high. The demand for beef has remained strong in this country, even though there was the single find in Canada earlier this year.

I wasn't trying to rally the team by getting ejected. I think it was more just a difference of opinion. We were dealing with things the whole game, and we thought that we had a legitimate beef with the way they were playing Dirk. I guess we were wrong.

Thousands of producers prefer to sell cattle through marketing agreements, rather than in the cash market. The decisions in this case allow them to continue this practice, which they believe is more efficient and rewards them for raising cattle that produce the beef consumers demand.

We can sustain the expansion. Come January and February, people are going to get hammered with huge heating bills. But once they get past that, they'll be O.K. I have no beef with a forecast of 3.5 percent GDP growth next year.

We have the talent with Ty Warren , Jarvis Green, Big Wilfork and it's just a matter of going out and doing the job every day. It puts more beef on the field and we can move in and out with our versatility. We all feel like we're every down players and want to be on the field, but we don't care if its 3-4 or 4-3 as long as we're winning football games.

We're really trying to expand the range of products at 7-Eleven stores and the range of services. It's not just a place for beef jerky, soft drinks or beer any more. We sell what people need.

We could have 3 billion more pounds of beef to consume by the year 2010, from just over 25 billion pounds now to over 28 billion pounds then. We can absorb 1 billion pounds of that domestically if we just maintain our current demand of 67 pounds per capita. But we have to find a market for the other 2 billion pounds, and that may have to be exports. It's critical we get Japan, South Korea, Russia, and other markets opened. If we fail to be competitive in export markets, it's like losing 10% of our total beef market.

Microsoft has no beef with open source, ... We happen to like and will continue to pursue commercial software as a business model Microsoft believes in. Ultimately, the market will tell us if that choice is a good one.

We had expected that the government would lift a ban on U.S. beef after checking U.S. meatpacking plants by themselves.
