 you are from former yugoslavia country right? there is a lot more actual beef there than anywhere else on the continent... you can also find it in the UK, but outside of yugoslavia, basically if EU then VEAL

the butcher in the supermarket in Sarajevo had mainly beef... yes, probably because muslim, one of the benefits of islam lol

veal... and on top, grain fed, feedlot. is worse than typical pork... the only form of beef available to me is frozen hamburger patties, and supposedly over the other side of the island, which is hard to get to, 40 euros each way by taxi, there is one or two butchers that actually have proper 18 month+ beef... i have never actually seen it anywhere in my year here so far

yeah, i'm going where i can easily find beef, preferably to beef country in fact, preferably somewhere that people actually understand the difference

it's literally such a destruction of my quality of life to not be able to eat proper meat, this is the situation for most euro-peons at this point

there's lots of other things going on but the ruling class of europe seems to be most intent of all the things it is doing , aside from raising taxes even further, is starving people of actual beef and mutton 
 That's a rough situation.

I'd try doing poultry, fish, oysters, and butter. And pork's good if you don't follow those religious traditions. Some places might even have goat and lamb, those are also good, but sometimes a bit too lean for my taste. Same with wild animals.

While beef is always best, other meats are OK in its absence, then eggs, cheeses, milk. All of these are much better than other supermarket foods, and absolutely superior to salbutamol and salmeterol, as well as cannabis - and I believe limiting your meals to whatever animal sourced foods you can get will likely resolve your symptoms.

And you're correct, I'm from Croatia. We have solid beef here. We even have grass fed, but I'd have to travel to Zagreb to get it. The butcher there says there's plenty demand, but very few producers. I imagine they're being taxed into oblivion at the behest of the EU overlords and unelected bodies that would have us eat crickets instead. 
 yeah, oof man i hate those misanthropic massmurdering sumbiches ... that's my point, they are doing it to have people suffer and die

also i've never really been to croatia, passed through a few times going to Bosnia but that was it, always had a bad impression about it... i think it's the most "conformant" for EU standards? you see the odd bit of EU bullshit around bosnia and serbia but they don't really seem to have control of the people so much or the favour of these gods 
 Most conformant of the Balkan nations, yes. I disliked the EU from the outset as well, even voted against joining. But in a democracy you get only what the majority wants, so here I am making the best I can to separate myself and my family from that crap. 
 the thing is the EU isn't embargoing them like they are with everyone else except bulgaria and slovenia

"too corrupt" is the cover story. lol

more like the people in the government won't even comply 
 I have no doubt they are corrupt in their own way, but when the EU says it it usually means they won't bend over.

Our government is all too happy to do that so the EU doesn't mind turning a blind eye to the corruption, I guess. At least on occasion. 
 the EU is far more corrupt than any of yugoslavia was even at its worst

some might say "but Tito had his enemies assassinated, something something ethnic cleansing, Milosevic" but how many people are dying or living hellish lives even just due to the one thing of EU food regulations and additive approvals... or how unified they were in pushing Phizer et al's poison

i think the corruption is worse because it's less obvious
