Just by coincidence…
I had barely finished writing my post below warning that grass fed farmers needed to carefully consider before shipping their animals into the commercial marketplace. My point was that designing your animals for “The Box” is what got the meat industry into trouble in the first place.
It’s an easy way to sell your steers, assuming you produce them to the required size, but I wanted to point out it was possibly the proverbial “bargain with the Devil”. (Why didn’t I think of that phrase sooner?)
The big food processors have been buying up the smaller organic and natural labels and inevitably, I argued, that will lead to the corruption of the product.
Case in point, a lawsuit against Hebrew National Kosher hot dogs….turns out they’re not kosher any more…not since they were bought by the giant processor, ConAgra Foods, Inc. You can read about it by going to the link.
