We're at a point that if you want to eat food grown/raised responsibly, you have to personally investigate: so why do we even HAVE the USDA?Laura Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09145568170608254365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23189093.post-1153580085586193992006-07-22T10:54:00.000-04:002006-07-22T10:54:00.000-04:00This subject is not in my realm of expertise by an...This subject is not in my realm of expertise by any means. However, with regard to the organic beef, is purchasing it a serious step toward safety? I'm growing more suspicious each day of foods given the "organic" stamp. Especially given the fact that Wal-Mart and major food distributors are manipulating farmers and taking a stronghold on agricultural procedures.<BR/><BR/>I don't know what to do. I hear your concern for food safety (I know somebody who just survived a bout with e Coli bacteria they contracted from a meatball sandwich at Subway). Like Lis, I love beef and am I'm not sure I can just pledge to stop eating steak and burgers. Arrgh!<BR/><BR/>Americans need to get off their complacent butts and begin telling their government what they wish to dine on--not the other way around.Acme Instant Foodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05433880903890097520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23189093.post-1153574061317671972006-07-22T09:14:00.000-04:002006-07-22T09:14:00.000-04:00I love beef (and I've got the marbled flanks to sh...I love beef (and I've got the marbled flanks to show for it) but vCJD scares the bejeezus out of me. I do like <A HREF="http://www.laurasleanbeef.com/aboutOurBeef/mcow.php" REL="nofollow">Laurie's Lean Beef</A> which isn't organic but (appears) responsible. Still, since the jury is still out on beef for Shane, I haven't bought it recently.<BR/><BR/>Lis, if you do come across that veggie-beef blogger, please let me know. <BR/><BR/>I've been meaning to try <A HREF="http://www.quorn.us//cmpage.aspx?pageid=462&productid=150" REL="nofollow">Quorn</A> but as it's made from vat-grown fungus, there's a major ick factor. Plus, <A HREF="http://www.cspinet.org/quorn/" REL="nofollow">I read</A> it can cause allegric reactions. "Some people have dangerous allergic reactions to the fungus and suffer nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and occasionally hives or difficulty breathing. Some people react the first time they eat Quorn, while some react only after building up a sensitivity."<BR/><BR/>So maybe I'll stick with ground turkey and gardenburgers for now.Laura Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09145568170608254365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23189093.post-1153559617732001572006-07-22T05:13:00.000-04:002006-07-22T05:13:00.000-04:00I know how scary this disease is and I wouldn't wi...I know how scary this disease is and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.. unfortunately, I can't give up the beef. I respect your decision though and I think it's definitely for the best. There is a gal who blogs about "veggie-beef" - she says it tastes pretty much like the real thing. Unfortunately, I can't think of who it is right this second. But if it's something you think you'd be interested in, let me know and I'll search her out for you.Lishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05631520734280170415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23189093.post-1153559253375494332006-07-22T05:07:00.000-04:002006-07-22T05:07:00.000-04:00I am so making my husband read this...he is such a...I am so making my husband read this...he is such a red meat eater.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
