Re: Are you brand loyal?
90% of Americans are ignorant, 10% are educated...It's 50/50
90% of Americans are obese fat people, the rest are movie stars...I see fat people wherever I go in the world..Its the same everywhere
That doesn't mean that 10% educated are the same 10% movie stars...Stupid
The list goes on- I get bored when I go east of the Atlantic Ocean

That Buffalo/cow hybrid is pretty cool...there's a place out where the in-laws live that grow that stuff, I always thought it was a front as I'd never seen anything but an open barn there for years, finally saw one last time we were up there, very surreal looking

Re: Are you brand loyal?
you really should learn when to quit buddy.
actually I do know a thing or two about beef, for a start my family raise cattle, secondly my uncle is one of "the" most respected and renowned angus breeders in the world, if you've had a championship winning bit of beef anywhere in the world the chances are that it was he who made the award and even more likely that the animal came from his estates blood lines.
the reason your meat is full of fat is that is force fed corn for 12 weeks, confined to a pen and pumped full of chemicals before slaughter, this is because the USDA system of meat grading is fundamentally flawed, meat is awarded a higher grade for fat content than flavour.
American beef is over fatty, over tender, full of chemicals and entirely lacking in substance or flavour oh and just for the record its also less nutritionaly dense with a lower omega 3 to 6 ratio, again a byproduct of slaugtering at too young an age and by finishing them on corn.
Eventually americans will learn that beef should have a texture and flavour.
you are right about 1 thing though, it is damn hard to find good beef in dubai, there is however one restraunt which serves argentinian beef from an estate who get their bulls from my family so when i want a nice steak thats where i go.
dont take my word for it, just google corn fed beef for a good horror story, while your at it ask your friends how they used to raise cattle say 40 yrs ago, i bet they will tell you they were slaughtered at an older age, werent confined to pens or fed corn, then ask them to tell you honestly which beef tasted better...

I live right in the middle of Cattle country, nobody buys meat at the grocery store around here..One time when I first moved here I picked up a calf in the road and brought it home..I figured I'd raise it up, then a friend told me that the sherrif looks the other way when cattle thieves are killed up here..I put it right back in the middle road around midnight
