Like meat? Watch this

Video Here

Now along with not eating seafood from Asia or other countries ... we have to watch for GLUED meat! Be sure to watch this; you will be shocked.

The next time that you are at the grocery store go to the pre-packaged meat coolers and look closely at the list of the countries on the label of any of the packaged meats (which is a mandatory FDA law) that shows where the meat came from. Buy only meat that came from USA or Canada.

Well, you can bet that if they are doing it in Australia, they're doing it here. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me to learn the technology was developed here. I have never seen or heard of such a thing!!!

Firstly - you can buy meat from the European Union - meat glue is banned here.
Secondly - many, many items are made from "reformed" meat. Ham, turkey and chicken "rolls", any joints available to cook from frozen, nuggets etc.

There is a big movement here about buying responsibly raised meat. Even McDonalds trumpets its farm to fork policies, using only beef reared in the British Isles, organic milk and free range eggs etc (although they import battery raised chicken for meat - grim).

Over here we call those scraps stewing beef cubes, even though they are rarely cube shaped.

That is grimmy, though. Wouldn't want to try that.

Makes me wonder about some of those commercial ship filet mignon to your house companies. They have to be cutting costs somewhere to offer those kinds of prices.

I've bought those packs of filets from the grocery before...you know, it's like a "brand" and wasn't cut at the store...I wonder about them now.

The most pure and perfect and yummiful food known to man: a filet. Ruined.

BY GREED!

(do you see my theme here?)

I heard that it was banned in the UK Sundae, this was more for those posters here in the US as it is NOT banned yet.
It reminded me of a dinner earlier this year at my parents. Mom bought this expensive tenderloin. As I was prepping it to cook, I knew something wasn't right. I'm sure it was something like this. As I cut into it, it had the weird lines as shown in this video.

@Wolf - good point, I hadn't thought of that.

A tenderloin is made up of 3 different muscles, if I recall "Good Eats" correctly. There's facia (sp) between them.

The worst is when you buy reformed meat and it turns out to be recidivist meat that only claimed to be reformed. You can never really tell.

Or if it's orthodox or Hasidic.

If it's killed properly under rabbinical supervision, but then glued together like that, is it still kosher?

If it tastes good, who cares if it's glued together.

The glue is probably made from horses, anyway.

Everybody who don't like being lied to? I would not buy glued together meat, if I knew.

Would you really be alright with paying the filet mignon price for scraps of meat glued together in the shape of filet mignon???

Now...If it comes in a bag that screams "Glued-Together Meat", maybe. But, prolly not.

But white chocolate isn't really chocolate, there's no licorice in red licorice and Coke doesn't actually contain any coke.
