Defaming Beef

It started with Carl's Jr. and their Angus beef burgers. Now McDonalds is getting in on it. Fast food is pretending at being all upscale by claiming to have genuine Angus beef.

It's a lie. My dad raises genuine Angus beef from a herd I started when in FFA. The so-called Angus in these fast food burgers is referring to beef from cows that are black. It would be like calling every dark skinned human a Nigerian, or at least the first two syllables of that word, sort of. Folks who raise genuine Black Angus beef should consider a defamation suit.

It's not all about the breed. Just like people, good beef has more to do with how they are raised, how they are treated, the environment they live in, how they die and other variables. Crappy feed lot beef is still crappy feed lot beef and is going to be tough, hard, and not as easily palatable. Just like ghetto trash is more than likely going to be toughened, harder, and less palatable (in an inter-personal relations way since we aren't supposed to be eating them for dinner).

Besides, all McDonalds really needed to say was...

Now With Less Horse!

I thought those burgers had kangaroo? Horse you say though. Horse, cow, wombat... what do I care I just want a ground up meat product that is capable of starting a grease fire.

Turns out "Now with less Horse" isn't true.
