Hey all, wish me luck. I just found out the Washington Post is coming to my event this afternoon.

Really interesting read. I went to a slaughter house many yrs ago. Concerns about BSE

It is an experience that I will never forget. ((Work Related trip))

Amazing that I am not a vegetarian!

Wow, everywhere you turn there is something to learn (rhyme unintended, but left alone). Great

report, Traca -- you really can, and DO, run with it!!

Thank goodness I just got a 3-month supply of Zocor. Excellent report, Traca!

What a fantastic evening. I had never imagined there was so much to know about meat.

 

[traca]

Interesting about this...I learned there's a huge difference between grass finished & grain finished

beef--espeically between the Omega 6 (bad fat) and Omega 3 (good fat). Grain or corn finished beef has high Omega 6s. Grass finished beef actually has more Omega 3s because the cows live in the sunshine and eat the grass that has more nutrients. So it's not that red meat is bad, it depends on how it's raised.

I just want in under plastic, in a little styrofoam tray smileys/smile.gif

Interesting also because I always thought grassfed was inferior, less tender & flavorful than

grainfed.

Lol, best you didn't see last week's episode of Hell's Kitchen.

I was amazed at how little the "chefs" knew about cuts of meat!! the info is in Joy of Cooking.

 

[nan]

and kudos Traca!!! what an experience to be with that group,Hope we get a sit down someday to share.

 

[nan]

the "I was amazed post" should be under Curious's about Hell's Kitchen, sorry

 

[curious1]

So was I, I was hoping they were just confused by the picture and the yelling.
