"After hearing everything so bad about beef and livestock, I wonder why I'm such a bad guy. Some days, I feel like a tobacco farmer."

Wow, that's a cheap shot at tobacco farmers. Well played, him.

Sounds like curtains for the meat industry

In other news, beef is delicious. Please keep growing cows. And tobacco farmers have a huge lobby and a large addicted customer base.

I can't fap to flap.

Yeah, this will end well.

The pink slime controversy disgusts me. I'm switching to a fish diet. Preferably fish tacos.

Big bottom, big bottom,
Talk about mud flaps, my girl's got 'em!
Big bottom drive me out of my mind,
How could I leave this behind?

Efforts to crossbreed Holsteins with pelicans flies in the face of Cattlemen's Association.

Great. Now it's a sausage fest in here.

On defense? That's two funnies.

QFTA:

"After hearing everything so bad about beef and livestock, I wonder why I'm such a bad guy," said the 72-year-old cattle producer. "Some days, I feel like a tobacco farmer."

CJD. It's infectious and it got into the human population because greedy bastards like you covered up having diseased animals by grinding them up and feeding them to healthy feedstock. That's why you little farker. Ask Japan about buying American beef, btw. (new window)

Oh here. Let me just post info about Japan banning imports of US beef...

In late 2003, Japan suspended all imports of American beef due to a single BSE case in Washington.[1] Japan had been the largest export market for US beef, valued at $1.2 billion in 2003.[2] In December 2005, Japan agreed to remove the restriction on importing US beef. However, in January imports stopped again because inspectors found banned cattle parts in a veal shipment from the U.S.

Japan again halted all imports of US beef in January 2006-just six weeks after the Japanese government began to allow boneless beef from animals younger than 21 months into Japan after a two-year ban-because of bone material found in a shipment of veal from New York State.

Now, can we talk about all those illegal aliens you employ at your operation? Fark you.

I like to play the beef flap clarinet

Mmm steak

Did they took yer jerb?

i love it. How much did AFS pay for this article? Do they have a spinmaster who was like, "We gotta go interview an innocent old beef farmer, to really play on people's emotions, and show them that by not wanting to eat pink slime, they are hurting guys like poor ol' Dave." ? Sure that isn't Dave Thomas from Wendy's?

Um, demand for beef is the same. You just can't increase the supply artificially will filler now. The farmers are going to make the same, it is just the processors (mainly the makers of the slime), that will have a mild hit on their profit margin.

This is a piece of propaganda using the classic rhetoric of the small farmer to drum up sympathy. What a load of bull.

Hey beef industry! WE WANT STEAK, NOT DOG FOOD!

No but they took lots of jobs from people. They get paid shiat wages off the books.

One illegal who worked on a farm in California's central valley found a way to earn extra cash. He was, at that time, the largest meth manufacturer in California. The farmer who had employed him for 10 years or so had just given him a $5 an hour raise.

Plus, having had experience in ranches and feedlots in the Southwest, I figure somewhere out there, probably in Mexico, there is a picture of Ronald Reagan shaking hands with an illegal employed at Rancho Cielo. It wouldn't have been the only deal Reagan cut with bastards to save his political skin.

I don't know. I can't make better sterilized offal at home so I'd rather buy it at the store.

MMMMMMmmmmmm..that's good offal.

Another nugget from this piece of crap article:

Artist David Dahlquist of Des Moines, a nationally recognized public artist and teacher, says the "foodie" movement among chic urbanites might bring about a new taste for beef.

What the hell is a "public artist"? And whatever the hell that is, how does that make him quote worthy in an article about the beef industry? Does he paint pictures of cows or something?

That's the weirdest looking beaver i've seen today.

OK subby, but I'm gonna need a wheelbarrow and a holocaust cloak

Feh. A REAL bootstrappy job creator would see this as an oportunity.




Beef Soft serve, Beefcicles, Beef Slurpies....

A public artist is a person who does art in public. Like murals and sculpture, but displayed in public instead of inside a building. Come on, yoyopro, it is not that hard to figure things out.

I can't believe you the Weeners that, either.

Get a real woman, mate.

In the middle of the brouhaha I heard somebody trying to justify pink slime saying they are akin to recyclers and the green movement (paraphrasing) "You should be happy we are using every last bit of the cow. Its efficient and good for the environment. 10 years ago this would have been either thrown away or used for dog food."

Reply: "well dont YOU feel special feeding us dog food quality beef? Fark you buddy, my dog is pissed at you too that you took 'perfectly good' (in her eyes) meat out of her bowl."

Ulka Agarwal, chief medical officer for the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, said of the red meat industry: "The evidence is stacked against them, that red and processed meat are dangerous."

The Physicians Committee has put up an in-your-face billboard on Douglas Avenue in Des Moines proclaiming a link between rectal cancer and eating bacon.

Article, like many others, neglects to mention that the PCRM is a PETA project and only a tiny minority of its members are physicians. Article also fails to note that studies cited by both groups in their publications fail both the smell test and prerequisites for empirical validity. Then again, I don't expect better from a Gannett newspaper.

PCRM has responded to criticism about this from groups it says are funded by the meat, dairy, or chemical industries by stating it has no corporate affiliation with any animal protection group, and that PETA's contribution to PCRM was small.[17]

PCRM-along with PETA and groups such as the Centers for Disease Control, the Center for Science in the Public Interest, and Mothers Against Drunk Driving-has been the subject of public criticism for several years by the Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF), a non-profit lobby group representing the food and beverage industry.[18] The New York Times reported CCF's and PCRM's criticism of each other in 2004. CCF called PCRM a front for PETA, arguing that when PCRM offers health advice, they "do a very slick job of obscuring their real intentions," which is simply to oppose the use of meat, dairy products and alcohol. PCRM responded that, "If you are in the business of putting veal or beef on the tables of America, and slaughtering more than a million animals per hour, and making an awful lot of money at it, you are going to try to neutralize PETA or other animal-rights groups."

Meat packers have added the ammonia-treated beef scraps to ground beef for two decades, with few known problems knowing about it.

betterly more truthier


If your business sector is going down the toilet you might consider being more open, proactive and address concerns more forthrightly.
Just a suggestion cause I don't want corn fed beef. Currently pay more for less but better meat.
How can this be a mystery?
