The 12th Commandment Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 ...ala Fast Food Nation. This Eldon guy that own Beef Products Inc. seems pretty clever, actually, but boy do I not want to eat any of this junk. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/31/us/31meat.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1&hp "The company, Beef Products Inc., had been looking to expand into the hamburger business with a product made from beef that included fatty trimmings the industry once relegated to pet food and cooking oil. The trimmings were particularly susceptible to contamination, but a study commissioned by the company showed that the ammonia process would kill E. coli as well as salmonella." -continued at link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Yeah I read about this on the NYTimes RSS feed I have There are a lot of problems with mechanical meat production today, hence the frequent breakouts of e. coli and other such diseases. Animals also don't eat their natural diet but rather corn which helps fatten them up. Not to mention many of the animals are cramped into confined spaces, wallow in their own fecal matter, and are often abused for no reason at all. I'm far from a PETA activist but the treatment of animals for mass production of food is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, I find this article more alarming in terms of greed overwhelming common sense (to save a cent or two a pound?) than in animal treatment.

Destino Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 No thanks. I'll stick to the most organic clean cuts of beef I can find. I'm happy to pay more for quality meat. I'm not eating dog food grade hamburger meat.... We have an obesity problem in this country and no small part of it comes from eating too much fatty meat products.

HOF44 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Just an fyi, most stores will grind a cut of meat for you to make hamburger. I have had chuck steak turned into ground beef for me. Some like sirloin, but I think it's a little dry as hamburger, same with round steak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
