The rightmost panel is pure, unmitigated horseshit, though.

What? You don't grind your own beef?

Along with almost everybody else, no I do not.

How do you figure that, Aqua? My ground beef comes from local, pasture raised cows. It’s slaughtered, cut up, ground and packaged.

McDonald's Beef Patty contents:
every patty is 100% real beef with no fillers, additives or preservatives.
Our beef patties are made from 100% pure beef. We season with just a punch of salt and pepper, otherwise nothing else is added. No fillers, no additives and no preservatives.

Yeah, but were they happy cows?

Pasture raised with regular hormone cocktails? Pasture raised with a shitload of sodium nitrate added to preserve the meat? With carbon monoxide to give it that rosy glow?
Probably the meat you're buying is devoid of most of that craziness. But it's freaking American ground beef. Unless you've physically walked onto that farm property and watched soup to nuts how that cow makes it into your shopping cart, then no, sorry, "slaughtered, cut up, ground and packaged" doesn't fully cover it.

Ours comes from very small farm near our home. It's about as simple an operation as possible, very much a 'mom and pop' small farm owned by people we know. Other than raising the cattle ourselves, it's as good as it gets.
The quality of the product is outstanding, but it's not cheap. They don't have the economies of scale, but they also don't have the production quality issues of a larger scale. They know their cattle well enough to not just treat them as a herd. They're also pastured cattle, not feedlot. It makes a big difference.

@brenda same here. I know the farmers I deal with and how they operate. I know some of the processors too. None of that crap is going into my beef.

That's good! And I'm sure you can appreciate the relative rarity of having a beef source in America completely devoid of hormones, preservatives and other chemicals?

Yes, indeed I am aware, and feel very fortunate to live where I can buy from a local farmer. We buy our milk from another farm that processes their cows' milk right at the farm, bottles it, and will even deliver it. Living in a rural area is t3h bomb.

Ironically, we live in a rural area, too, but our local market is absolutely terrible.
Everything they sell is crazy-ass third-rate crap from China. Everything. There are probably 4 items in the store I'd consider fit for human consumption.We do have a farmer's market around for half the year, though, and all of that's wonderful.

Part of the problem is the FDA. Go read the rules and regs for a kill operation sometime.

If you buy meat from factory farm and processors, that’s what you’ll get. But you can avoid that, even in grocery stores.

Shucks, I think y'all ought to snub that beef to a post and kill your own.
Thank goodness I married a woman who can run a meat saw...

What they don't know won't hurt them. I've cut up more than one deer in the shop or on the kitchen counter.
