Anyone tried producing and selling beef jerky? The profit margins must be insane

Producing beef is generally a low profit margin business

>>60614636 (OP)
Beef jerky is incredibly unhealthy.
You'd pretty much be selling poison. But if you want to throw out your morals and contribute to the downfall of mankind for money, then go ahead. But you'll forfeit the right to call out tribesmen

>>60614652
wtf you talking about beef jerky is good for you

>>60614644
Based.

>>60614665
The high salt content is what makes it terrible for you in large quantites. But consuming tiny portion sized bags doesn’t negatively affect anyones health

>>60614644

Almost all food is low-margin. The average grocery markup is 2% - 3%. But retards will cote in a Communist raghead to create government grocery stores because 'le evil Capitalists' are price-gouging eggs (just ignore the 3-year long bird flu pandemic and purposeful mass-killing of chickens during Covid).

It seems beef itself isn't the big problem for health, it's raising the cows industrially, overfed at all times with cheap slop. Wild animals usually have not much fat stored in them, but now Internet psyops shill marbled steak as keto and bullshit. Just look at Escimos, they die like flies from eating the fatty seals.

Medical tests that filter out the sociopaths. It's a largely genetic illness of the brain, and it reliably can be detected with molecular tests, MRI even. People with dementia or schizophrenia are quickly removed from politics because they will make bad decisions. But the system has been corrupted by a horde of brain-diseased patients who drove out normal people with blackmail and unhinged behavior. So the most influential system made to further the common good is full of people who will always go for themselves. These have been killed off in jungle times, as they threatened the herd, but now they are sheltered by laws and general availability of food, so they can thrive and procreate.

Lmfao. Are you a shitskin?
>electing communist shitskins into power will have no effect on the city.

By your logic, every city in America could have a female shitskin communist in power and everything would operate exactly like they would if every city had a nationalist Anglo Saxon conservative man in charge.

Yes.

Please go back to whatever shithole you came from, thank you in advance.

>>60614765
Politicians want to be voted in for another term. Therefore they will do whatever they think the people want. Democrat or republican

>>60614760
there's an Anglo Saxon conservative trying to import shitskin policies on a national scale rn and nothing has changed

>>60614781
Fell for it again award kek

>Trump = Nationalist Conservative

>>60614797
Good luck convincing the people to vote for your "nationalist conservative", that's why your opinion literally doesn't matter, only the opinion of the people as an aggregate matters

>>60614798

Yes, and most people are retarded. That was my point. Glad it went over your head.

>>60614836
Hey brother I know you're sad that in a democracy nobody likes your chud solutions but I'm sure the glowies have some things to tell you about that

>>60614839
You're boring.

>>60614644
No it isn't you stupid nigger you just take meat slow cook it cure it and bag it

>>60614685
2300mg of sodium per day is a psyop. all muscles in your body need sodium to operate, including your heart. if someone is even remotely active they should be consuming closer to 7g/day and drink water according to thirst. you really think our laughing stock department of health knows best? the nippers (and other variety of chink) consume like 10g a day and have tremendously less heart issues per capita.

to answer OP's question (who is a faggot btw) producing beef jerky is not difficult. it just takes a lot of time and equipment. if you can afford a massive dehydrator and large undesirable cuts of beef while butchering it yourself you could make an easy profit.

>>60614705
only a small margin of the profits go to the store. the much larger profit goes back to the distributors and to the company who owns the food product themselves. profit margins are huge for the grain and snack industry.

>>60614636 (OP)
even before the fall, beef jerky prices were outrageous. since the fall, unattainable. there is no beef jerky for the little guy. he is forever priced out.

>>60614953
>all muscles in your body need sodium to operate
>every cell in your body needs water to operate, that's why you should be drinking 20l/day

>>60614953
They recommend lowering sodium intake as a band aid to lower blood pressure, because they won't fix the underlying issue, divide et impera industrialized and perfected. That creates a lot of struggling individuals, who all have high blood pressure in their 40s. And socialism is not the answer, because it's just another form of it, see modern commie Germany having the biggest blood pressure problem in the West.

>>60614685
The "salt is bad for your heart" meme is bullshit. It is mere correlation, and it's not hard to figure out how it happens. People that report eating a lot of salt are often getting that salt from goyslop snacks that are also loaded with sneed oils, msg, corn syrup, and other detrimental additives. If you're getting a lot of salt from sources that don't include these pseudo food slop additives, you will not incur the negative health consequences.

>>60614636 (OP)
i've never bothered to back-calculate the margins but i don't think they're as high as you think they are. i make jerky occasionally. if you start with 3 pounds of eye of round completely trimmed of fat you'll end up with about 1 pound of dehydrated jerky.

>because they won't fix the underlying issue
which is?

>>60615515
metabolic syndrome, the same thing that causes 90% of modern health issues
fix your diet and lifestyle and magically all your problems clear up, who would have imagined
your kidney can filter a ton of salt out of your body if you eat too much btw, lowering salt doesn't do shit for ANY health problem

>>60615236
your brain needs salt.

The goyslop you speek of is sold for profit, not your well being.

Salt is needed.

Animals seek a source of salt.

>>60615250
If you're going by weight, yeah, it's less because you're dehydrating it.
You still wind up with an enormous amount.
$7 of meat yields what you'd pay probably $75 for worth at a convenience store.

>>60615558
This. Its really very simple but the entire food, healthcare and pharmaceutical industry makes it complicated because otherwise they wouldn't make any money.

>>60615720
eye of round is $8/lb at my grocery store. pretend that fat doesn't exist and pretend your other inputs (onions sauce etc.) are free. that's $1.50/oz for the finished product. store bought jerky is ~$1.85/oz if you buy the 8 oz bag.

but then again you're probably not competing with store bought high fructose corn syrup jerky, and you might be able to get reasonable bulk purchase pricing if you buy directly from a slaughterhouse or something.

>>60615752
if you purchase huge cuts of meat like shoulder, round, and chuck directly from a butcher and cut it all yourself you will save hundreds. you only need a bone cleaver, a sharp maneuverable knife, chain mail gloves, and a butcher's block. it is super easy.

>>60614636 (OP)
I make my own using a metal rack dehydrator and setting it at 175 degrees for 6 hours. This slice, using beef round from Sams. I marinate my meat for 18-24 hours flipping the bag halfway through. Marinate is mostly wirshtishire, onions sauce,brown sugar, onion powder, pepper and liquid smoke. I only make it for personal use, but I know I am saving tons vs buying it from the store.

>>60614636 (OP)

I just get mine at Buc-ees

>>60615562
Nice reading comprehension you retard

>>60614636 (OP)
When you buy a steak it's a lot of water. If you take out all the water there's not a lot of beef. I feel you man, I love beef jerky. I think it's bad for us tho.

>>60614636 (OP)
We go over this periodically on /ck/. Short answer: beef jerky is dehydrated beef, beef prices are high, remove half the weight by removing water, net result is that beef jerky costs double what beef costs plus any processing costs. tl;dr: margins aren't huge.

Meat is healthy, unlike the poison you lot try to shove down people's throats.

Fun fact: Kellogg's (the cereals company) was founded by religious fanatics who wanted to feed Americans shitty diets (carbohydrates) in order to make people have too little energy to masturbate. They're also the ones who pushed circumcision on the U.S., again to stop boys from masturbating by making their dicks insensitive.

>Politicians want to be voted in for another term. Therefore they will do whatever they think the people want. Democrat or republican
No, they really don't. They push whatever policies their backers want them to push, whether those policies are good or not. Voters are apathetic and usually vote based on a few headline preferences like abortion or gun control. Unless a politician is a complete fucking moron who destroys the local economy (see Lori Lightfoot, former mayor of Chicongo), voters mostly just throw a ballot at whoever fits most closely to the individual's political identity.

The "identity" doesn't even have to make sense; Chicongo women throw their ballots at the Democrap candidate because Democraps are "the pro-abortion party", even though the mayor of Chicago has zero say on abortion policy.

Chat gpt says to make 40-50k in your first year you’re probably looking at 20k in startup (for my area, Washington)

Seems pretty risky desu. That’s of course assuming you manage to sell your stock at all.

>>60614644
that's why the ((((elite))) wants you to eat goyslop (grains)

>>60614665
Well if u make it urself it's great, but if u get a bag it's got nitrates and preservatives. Basically chopped slimjim.

>>60618404
Meat is healthy af. Most people need to eat way more protein than they do. But beef jerky aint it. If you buy it from the store it is always ultraprocessed shit
