The ranchers on Instagram have been talking about a new USDA rule passed earlier this week where the cow has to been born, raised, slaughtered, and processed in the US to get the “Product of USA” label now. Not sure when it takes effect?
Not that long ago, some Iowa farmers (I believe it was Iowa) were talking about putting together an independent meat processing group - coop per se to counter their monopoly. I think that a lot of people have started to wake up and with shit like mcdo's charging over $ 20.00 for two people to eat a burger (LMFAO) families are cooking more at home AND paying attention to quality and where our food is sourced. McDo's is low grade shit meat to add comedy that is the $10.00 plus burger meal. Counter that with an in and out double double not the pricing between the two. I rejoice in seeing mc do's failing around where I live. People are not spending the money and the franchise is closing shop. (Assumed franchise versus corp store).
Sorry for the rant, net net, people are becoming more aware of food source and lack of transparency along with all the fuckery that is involved with garbage like fake meat. People are getting back to quality and basics. Local coops will go a long way to slowing and ending the current consolidation. I am hungry, think I will throw a rib eye on the grille for lunch.
