Don't mess with Argentine beef. They eat MORE beef than anywhere else in the world. But I guess after eating a good steak, you need a good dessert.

Maybe you need a desert after a good steak but do you really want one that was hauled on that truck?
I like this guy, he has got have have a real big PAIR to have done that.
If only we all could stand up to DOT like that.
DOT:
Department Of Transportation
A department of the federal executive branch responsible for the national highways and for railroad and airline safety. It also manages Amtrak, the national railroad system, and the Coast Guard.
State and Federal DOT Officers are responsible for commercial vehicle enforcement. "The truck police" you could call them.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — An Argentine truck driver upset that inspectors found irregularities with his refrigerated cargo shut two inspectors in the back and took them on a long, cold ride.
Sanitary control inspector Valeria Aguirre says during a routine inspection of a refrigerated truck they found that the food inside wasn't being stored at an acceptable temperature. They told the driver they were going to retain his cargo, which was described as desserts.
Aguirre tells Todo Noticias channel that she and another inspector entered the truck's refrigerated compartment to register the cargo when the driver became upset and said "I want to go, they can't keep me here."
She said Thursday he locked them in the back and drove off. "We grabbed what we could and the papers flew everywhere."
She says the inspectors called colleagues who contacted police. The truck was intercepted after a trip of more than 3 kilometers (about 2 miles).
They were rescued safe but shivering. The driver was arrested.
