Here’s some fun facts for today.
Did you know that McDonalds is the largest buyer of cow eyes in the USA. According to the USDA, FDA, cow eyes are acceptable as they have come from beef cattle.
Now, here’s the thing. McDonalds do not to my knowledge anything on their menu telling you the consumer that in your nice juicy protein patty contains cow eyes.
The rules are that they do not have to tell you. It came from a beef cow, so it is Beef.
To go back to yesterday’s post, around $19.00 for a burger meal containing eyeballs… Yum!
All the fast-food joints make their money by deceiving the consumer.
I used to like Chic Fil a
This was until I found out that the quality of their chicken was not top notch.
Chicken is graded by the producer. Not the FDA, not the USDA.
Guess what grade Chic fil a use?
Yup, grade C.
The Three Grades
• Grade A: The highest quality; features plump, meaty bodies, clean skin, and a good layer of fat; free of bruises, broken bones, tears, and feathers. This is what you see fresh in grocery stores.
• Grade B: Lower quality with minor deformities or moderate skin tears/defects; rarely sold whole at retail.
• Grade C: The lowest quality with more severe deformities or blemishes; used to make processed, cut-up, or ground chicken products
You see folks, you really do not know what you are eating.
Here in the USA, most of the food you buy is GMO’s Irradiated, and chemically produced, and the customer is happy to accept this.
Because of the wholesalers, supermarkets think that you the customer want perfect looking produce, the farmers have up to 40% waste before the product leaves the farm.
The supermarket buyers think you want straight carrots, bell peppers, cucumbers and alike, the deformed veggies at sent to the trash bin.
A few years ago in the United Kingdom, the celebrity chef Jamie Oliver took on the Supermarket about this practice. A Nationwide supermarket “Asda” took on the challenge by relaxing their stance…
Guess what, people purchased them.
We could do what the UK did. If the farmer doesn’t need to throw perfectly good albeit ugly looking food and saves 40% then the supermarkets can do the same.
End result, cheaper food.
So, to finish, I really would love to hear people’s comments.
No I didn’t compare Kroger to Plumb Market
This is my way of trying to open people’s eyes
Why do we have this obesity problem, why are children suffering from rare illnesses, so many health problems are caused by what you feed yourselves and your children.
Why does store bought bread stay fresh for 6 months?
Homemade bread lasts a week if kept in a fridge, if you haven’t eaten it by then.
