Would you eat meat from...

you are correct to be skeptical of anything giant corporations are providing you to consume

go to a ranch and buy a side of a cow you can see, touch, smell & most importantly see what it's eating & speak to the rancher to understand the medicines it receives

should be close to zero if grass fed on a healthy plot that is not overpopulated
Can’t speak for the organic beef crowd but can assure you that most cattle born and raised on Nebraska grass receive vaccinations to grow healthy and antibiotic treatment for sicknesses they get along the way. When it comes to meat quality, a lot of that can depend on your butcher/locker. I’ve had beautiful black angus steers where the meat was “ok” and a Holstein steer that might be one of the best tasting steaks I’ve ever had and I was very nervous it would be total garbage.
 
I live in KC and Walmart/Sam’s is getting ready to open a meat distribution plant in Olathe. All of the meat going through the Olathe distribution center which will go out to much of the Midwest is Nebraska raised certified beef. So honestly I think it’s going to be solid quality.
Have you ever hauled kill cows to a big slaughter house? No way you would eat
 
I worked in a meat packing plant during college summers (thankfully on the break and fab side and not the kill floor). Even so, took me a while to get comfortable eating beef again. Of course, today I love it!

I knew of a guy that worked on the kill floor at Gibbon 1/2 day. Started in the morning, so much blood he said, and quit at noon! I was a meat cutter, my Grandpa was a butcher. Took the live animal and went through the whole line until it was in the meat case!! Ha, tough job!! I still needed neck fusions at 62 yrs old! I'm ok, as in the old days meat guys were tossed away with bad health!

Thought this thread would be as good a place as any for my comment. Went sockeye fishing, yesterday. Fished north of here near Brewster, WA. Used a guide. We were fishing the Columbia River at the mouth of the much smaller Okanogan River. The fish stack up there before they go up the Okanogan. Two of us both caught our limit of 4 fish. Fish were 2-4 lbs. We were trolling. Our guide was great, and he had to be. Even though it was a Tuesday there was between 200-300 boats all bunched up in a small area. All boats were trolling too. We are using the same guide in September to go after the much bigger Kings. Again, on the Columbia, but about an hour south of here near the Vernita Bridge. I cooked the smallest one on the grill last night and it was delicious.

Closet thing to fresh salmon I had was caught on Lake Michigan then an 12 hour drive home, grilled up at 1 am with cold beer. Was phenomenal

Nothing more satisfying then cooking up a fish you caught that day

In Jamaica they were grilling up fresh swordfish on the beach they just pulled out of the ocean a day before. Jamaican Jerk swordfish. Can't get any fresher than that. Good stuff.

Hopefully your plant killed them with a sledge, the old fashioned way. The newer way is the gun that shoots a bolt into their skulls, then retracts it. That gun is no good....it puts people out of work.

I see you like it when your meat has a tinge of gamey taste to it
 
I'm not saying fluoride gives you cavities, I'm saying it doesn't lessen the events of cavities.

Fluoride is a waste product, its a neurotoxin and it disrupts the endocrine. A report released just in March of this year proves it. The CDC and HHS tried to bury the report, and the American Dental Association was in cahoots with those agencies. The report was released through the Freedom of Information Act.

It does lower IQ in children, especially those in pregnancy and are breast fed. As far back as 1945 in Grand Rapids, Michigan it was tested and showed it reduced IQ's.

I'm not really wanting to get into a disagreement over this issue. All adults are free to do as they choose.
We also don't drink fluoridated water. It's just a choice I made for my family a long time ago.
This is not evidence or scientific in any way but is a cool story.
 

This says it was a retrospective analysis of prior research, cherry picked results, made unsupported claims, and eventually withdrew the paper after being prompted by a working group to make nearly 100 revisions. 🤷‍♂️
So you want to use a government agency? Yeah, let's trust the science, too.

When the government denies it, then you iknow ts true. Been proven constantly.

Then why did the CDC, HHS, National Dental Association have to be taken to court through a FOIA request before they were ordered to release that report? They would have either gladly released it had it had findings that were beneficial.

Dude, anybody that believes anything the government says is being duped. It's been known since the 1940's that fluoride is not good for humans, hence, its a waste product.

But, you have the right to do whatever you'd like. I'm not here to tell anyone what to do.

Bolt gun. Kill floor was something. No air conditioning. Blood and guts everywhere.
