How to Be a Smart Meat Shopper

"Meat costs put a big dent in our budgets nowadays. So you ought to buy all meats and poultry carefully and take care of them properly until you are ready to cook them."

A couple of years ago (or maybe more), some friends and I went all in and bought a cow.

We found a farm, picked out a cow, and paid for the meat and processing.

It is still the best beef cuts I have ever had and our deep freezer stayed full for about a year.

When all that beautiful beef was gone, we had to go back to buying cuts from the store. I don't know why chain grocery store beef cuts are so gross.

BUT

Then I found out about PINK SLIME!

If you read the WIKI link, you will see that in 2012, a study found that 70% of ground beef as the additive. It is disgusting.

BUT

It's not just ground beef or processed food. It can be used in steaks and no one knows the difference.

I'm talking about transglutaminase or "Meat Glue".

This stuff binds protein together. So you can take cuts of meat and bind them to look like steaks.

...

Let's just say I am not a fan.

I don't like additives.

I have had unfortunate health issues for the last couple of years and I definitely try to eat simple foods. Really the simpler the food the better for your body.

...

Let's do a call back!

Check out what the USDA is trying to do

If reforms and regulations are cut back then we can see a lot more slime and glue in our foods.
