Have you noticed in their radio commercials they never mention what grade is the meat they're selling?

I'm sure they'd say if it were Prime grade. I'm also sure it has to be the same Choice grade we all end up buying at the supermarket.

Choice Grade has been garbage since the corrupt politicians some decades back moved up the various grades to where the dog food stuff labeled Select could be called Choice, and the Choice grade
became the dog food junk that used to be Select. As for what used to be Choice became the present day Prime.

Prime today is no longer 'Prime", and I know this because I'm old enough to remember when I could afford Prime beef almost daily. Prime today is nowhere what it used to be, and the price of real
"prime" beef today is out of the reach of the average person's wallet.

The crooked politicians did it to get paid off one way or another - legal or illegal - "contributions" by the meat companies.

Ninety-NIne percent of this country's problems have been caused by our national - and local politicians - and our school system which through the decades have dumbed down the last few generations of
kids in the numerous number of "woke" states to the level of damn near uneducated morons.

Sorry about the running line length. I goofed. Forgot to set the
lines to 70 characters

The counter argument is that consumers have expressed a strong preference for lean/grass fed beef. Since Prime meant well marbled, it wasn't selling well. In any case, many local butchers sell ungraded beef that is well marbled. There's no law that states retail beef has to be USDA graded.

Nonsense. https://cloverhilldiaries.com/2015/07/31/debunking-the-hogwash-around- grass-fed-beef-vs-grain-fed-beef/

It wasn't selling well because it was more expensive than Choice meat.

The Prime steaks and ribs from way back when could be cut - separated
- with your fork. It damn well melted in your mouth.

Grass fed beef was born of money saving greed and environmental
bullcrap. It's junk.

They have also ruined pretzels and such by eliminating almost all the
salt on them. Saving a few more cents a bag was the reason, not the
customer's health.

I'm a few months shy of ninety years of age. I remember back when
Prime steak cost me $2.50 a pound. I also remember well the day when
a buddy of mine was visiting and I shared some of my Prime beef
dinner with him. He couldn't believe the difference between it and
the Choice he had eaten most of his life.

I really don't expect the modern generations to have any real idea as
to the difference in food tastes. What do these few generations know
of taste who eat hot dog sandwiches buried with cheese-covered chili?
