  • Argentines are eating less beef than ever before

    STORY: At this butcher shop in Buenos Aires, workers slice a cut of beef, something that’s becoming increasingly rare.In beef-loving Argentina, people are eating less beef than ever.Consumption is down almost 16% this year so far.Triple-digit inflation and a recession are forcing Argentines to tighten their belts.Data show they are eating around 97 lbs of beef a year.That’s down from the more than 114 lbs last year, and over 220 lbs people ate in the 1950s.Butcher shop owner Gerardo Tomsin has noticed the shift."People keep coming, the issue is that they consume less. There are people who turn to other products. It is a permanent search for prices. People look for what’s more convenient and best for their pockets.”Argentines are facing tough austerity measures from libertarian President Javier Milei.The economy is stalled, and inflation has skyrocketed nearly 300%. Beyond the butcher shop, families are also reducing consumption of staples like milk and vegetables. Poverty is up, more people are homeless in major cities and lines have grown at soup kitchens. There has also been a longer-term shift towards other meats like pork and chicken, or cheaper staples like pasta.Miguel Schiariti, president of the local meat chamber, says it all comes down to price.“Today you can acquire a full chicken for $2,000 pesos, or $2,100 pesos per kilo. Pork can be bought for between $3,000, $4000 pesos per kilo. The cheapest beef cut is around $5,000 or $5,500 pesos per kilo. People decide depending on their purchasing power. [And] people’s purchasing power is weakening month by month.”Still, some like retiree Claudia San Martin refuse to give up going to the butcher.“Argentines can eliminate anything, I believe, in difficult times like this. But we can't do without meat. Meat is an integral part of the Argentine diet, it is as if pasta were eliminated for Italians.”

  • Dedicated to the bean: Students study coffee at US university

    STORY: At the University of California’s Davis campus, students are serious about their coffee.The academic research facility here boasts that it's the first in the United States dedicated to the bean.“I first started with the coffee kinetics project, so we did stuff about the roast of the coffee beans…”Students like Kylie Umeda roast, brew, sample and scrutinize their cup of joe as credit toward their chemical engineering degrees.The 7,000-square-foot facility recently opened officially after a $6 million renovation.Among its features is a tasting room with red lights, which Umeda says is to discourage bias when sampling.“When people are looking at the samples, they are not able to determine the difference in color between the different samples that they're trying." // "When people taste the coffee we like to determine if the sensory notes in it — so if it's like a little sour, if it's a little earthy, if it tastes like a little burnt, and we use that to determine the flavor profile of the coffee beans and then that could be tied to the roast profile when we were making the beans.”Chemical engineering professor and director William Ristenpart said coffee is understudied in academic spaces.“Given how important coffee is to our culture, to our economy, our society — coffee needs academic study. It needs an academic pipeline.”He added that professors of food science, plant science and agronomy, business, law, religious studies and sociology lend their expertise to ongoing work at the center. RISTENPART: "We want to help elevate the world of coffee."
