Black Angus beef
The Black Angus Association has done a great marketing job. Certainly Angus beef is good but I would argue that Whiteface cattle, Shorthorn, Holstein, Red Angus and other types is as good.
Grass fed cattle are leaner and their meat has less marbeling than corn fed beef. Probably healthier but in my opion not as tasty as corn fed cattle.
Back in the 50's I had an uncle who was a dentist that would drive 125 miles to buy chickens from a farmer he knew that didn't feed his chickens teramyicin (sp?)
My mother thought he was odd but he may have been quite atute.
Who knows anymore. I just read that 18% of Americans believe that the sun revolves around the earth. That explains a lot of things for me.
