    The USDA statics sheet shows that in 2010 the United States consumed 26.4 billion pounds of beef (“U.S. Beef”).

Now the billions of people who made up these statics have no clue what Certified Angus Beef (CAB) or Laura’s Lean Beef are or even mean. Furthermore terminology used on menus, such as CAB, Laura’s Lean, prime, choice, yield grade, marbling, may cause many people to feel overwhelmed. However, particular items which have gained more recognition at the checkout lines and on menus are niche beef products. Two of the most common niche beef products are Certified Angus Beef and Laura’s Lean Beef. Understanding the quality standards associated with Certified Angus Beef and Laura’s Lean Beef should allow people as valuable consumers to make smarter decisions associated with meat sciences.

    Watch Where You Get Your Meat

    This raises a curiosity within me of how much do I not know of that goes on behind the meat producing industries. If different companies are producing their meat in different ways, I am going to start to only purchase my meat from the most organic company. It is disgusting to know that some companies are cutting corners in their treatment of animals and meat in order to just save a few bucks. It seems that people need to be made aware of most meat processing companies so that they adhere from buying from their produce. In turn this will raise support to organic meat producing companies, thus creating a ball rolling effect where people will start to buy form organic meat producers and other meat processing companies will lose their customers.…
