The one thing you did not comment on was the smell. I can tell a huge difference between the regular store bought ground beef and the Grass Fed/Grass Finished ground beef, and the farm raised. I just recently bought beef from our local Yoder's Meats. The regular store bought ground beef literally turns my stomach. The smell is horrific! We ate it for years without even noticing it. But, once I switched to the Grass Fed/Grass Finished and had been eating it for several years then I went to see my son and he was cooking the regular store bought beef and I nearly threw up from the smell, it was that bad. This is my first month buying locally raised processed beef. We tried it yesterday and it smelled delicious. It wasn't even the grass fed/ grass finished beef, but, it was very clean with no antibiotics or hormones and it was very good. I didn't see much difference between the Aldi grass fed/grass finished and what I bought from Yoders. Here is my question. I grew up on farm raised beef that my grandparents raised and took to the locker for processing. That meat was greyish in color, not red and not bloody. Beef you buy, even the beef from Yoders is red in it. I know from growing up around farmers meat off the farm does not have that. I was expecting the meat from Yoders to look like the beef from the farm that I grew up on, but, it did not. I know when meat is packaged from the farm they put chemicals in it to make it look like it is bloody and fresh. You did not touch on this in this video either. I was very surprised when I opened the Yoders meat and was cooking the hamburgers red liquid squirted out. I dabbed it on a white paper towel. It was bright red, which blood is not even bright red and suspect it has the same chemicals in it as the store bought meat. I wish I could find meat that is not treated with that red stuff in it. I was very disappointed to see it in the Amish store's meat.
I covered the smell in the video in minutes 3 and 4. In these specific ones, there was no smell with the commercial samples. I was surprised by that. The local had the strongest smell but was pleasant. There is a water buffalo farm tour and meat processor in the second half of the video that goes into what you're speaking of on the chemical and much more. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7y61acj_yIo.htmlsi=7YYiTaPF42T2wSg_
In the past couple of years I've thrown away more ground beef than I've eaten; it either has an unpleasant odor or it feels waterlogged. Does the pre packaged grass fed ground beef have a gamey taste?
I haven’t found anything that compares to locally raised and processed beef. I’ve not found it to have a gamey taste. I won’t eat meat from a big box store anymore. I agree completely.
you can search up all meats that are store bought to see where they come from and were packaged. That way you'll know if it was moved across the country before being placed on the shelf. some times the meat is moved back and forth to be butchered, packaged, then placed on a shelf. I don't remember the process. I had to call the usda (i think) and talk to a nice guy. the lady that i talked to didn't know anything and hung up on me twice. I asked to be instructed on how to search up the place the meat was butchered so I can know if It's more local or has been shipped all over the place or is meat from another country. You can also use this search to know if there's been a recall on any meats. Thinkin back it might not have been the usda but some other organization. I know that not all labels had the info for a search but some did. It depended on if they used their processing plants or whatever.
www.fsis.usda.gov/inspection/establishments/meat-poultry-and-egg-product-inspection-directory this looks extremely familiar but I can't find the search for the proper est/mfg whatever code thing
5 dollars for decent ish meat from walmart but you can't ask what process and such the cow has had. and 6.50 for local 100% grass fed around here. and it's a pick up at the farm. you can also guy unpasteurized milk. meaning it has nutrients. a lot of the milk in the store is heated and dried to be a powder and then sold for whatever purpose is needed THEN it's mixed with water to make milk. . . So you don't get any nutrition. just low quality dairy sugars, fats, and proteins. IT IS NOT EXPENSIVE IT IS CHEAP. you get to live longer, increased quality of life and you don't need to buy as much food to get full when it's fresh and has more nutrition in it.
