Ahh The Perils of Industrial Beef Processing
It’s not new. You have heard about it from a million friends and seen it on many TV shows…the perils of industrialized beef processing on a mass scale.
It’s Bad for us. Not just ’cause there is a lot of fat and bad cuts-o-meat in the mass processed beef you eat, but also because of the mad cow prions that you just can’t cook away (prions are essentially infectious agents made up of protein chains). Not many cows in the US have these mad-cow-prions, but there may be one or two steers out there that have it. So, keep that in mind next time you are at a cookout and someone offers you a pre-made, pre-pressed, perfectly round Kirkland-brand burger disk from Costco - it just may have that infectious agent in there. One burger patty can contain bits and pieces of hundreds if not thousands of different cows.
Gross.
Anyhoo, apparently, there is another beef recall due to e. coli - this time from the Colorado-based JBS Swift Beef Company.
They are recalling over 41,000 pounds of beef according to the USDA. The types of beef they are recalling have wondrously curiously ominous names like “Bnls Beef Bottom Sirloin” and “Butt Ball Tip 2/UP S/T.”
mmmmmm Butt Ball Tip 2/UP S/T !!!
can i have some more gravy from the butt ball tip please?
Anyways, for years now i’ve been trying to eat mostly organic beef when i do eat beef, preferably the local stuff. like from Prather Ranch.
Delicious!
Be careful out there….
