Your average kebab and burger bar will be selling the lowest grade meat. Reputable stores should be selling better grade meat, but who knows what they sell us at the end of the day.
The very first cases they didn't know it was cause by Bovine spongiform encephalopathy. Their were a few mysterious cases at the time. I guess the doctors thought they had Alzheimers or at least some related disease, but not all the symptoms matched. Someone peiced together what all the mysterious cases had in common and found what they had in common was roses. The roblem was that a few gardeners using bone ash for their roses. They actually caught it* from coming in contact with the bone ash which had the BSE. *In humans it is called Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease.

In America (at least at the time) any cow that wasn't suitable for market (any sick cow) was turned into the feed, and the cows that ate the contaminated feed were infected. I know what your think Upton Sinclair is spinning in his grave.

I think it was recently discovered in Sweden that a company had been dyeing pork to make it look like beef, but that's of real concern. All of Sweden could have worms by now.

I may be missing something here, but I don't think we're actually allowed to do that to our meat.

I'm just saying that Canada is pretty export-dependent when it comes to beef/pork/poultry, so some of that is inevitably GMO and that the standards for factory farming among industrialized countries is pretty appalling across the board. It's hard to avoid factory-farmed food in North America.

I suppose we should be grateful they're actually using meat for a change even if it is horsemeat. It'll make a change from them injecting the crap out of it with water to raise the weight.

Was thinking of getting McD's for lunch today, but after seeing this post and reading an article on McRibs, I think I'll go eat a salad.

Quote:
The McRib itself is complex; it's 70 ingredients include a bleaching agent used in foam plastics, such as cushions used for gymnastics.

There's very little meat in these gym mats - YouTube

Yeah but even if we're importing everything we still aren't allowed to sell or produce meat that's been injected with antibiotics and HGH and all that ****, and same with milk and other dairy products. It's different here than it is in the US when it comes to food standards, which might surprise you a bit.

I thought some americans were paranoid nutters for refusing to drink milk.

But then I looked into the standards a bit over there...

Yeah I've heard that a lot of milk there is chock full of HGH and other crazy shit. Don't know if that's actually true but it would explain why some of them won't drink it.

Not to mention when the steriods allowed for dairy cows usually leads to what are effectively udder hemorrhoids leaking blood and pus into the milk. Don't know how common it is...but the pics even made me skip on having cereal that particular morning...and I can eat while watching almost anything.
