    I remember playing dumb little pranks in summer camp... shaving cream, superglue, seran wrap... but this meat glue turns it into a whole new ball game

    They've been doing this for awhile and all it does is incease the profit for the meat companies. Doesn't lower the cost to us consumers.

    Truly horrifying....

    We are being poisoned in this country in the name of higher profits. The agricultural industial complex has lobby money and is turning this country's food supply into the worst most vile food in the modernized world. How come when I travel to other country the beef and chicken taste like they used to? Didn't it use to be the other way around?

    Additionally, did you know they renamed and re-categorized a grade of meat that wasn't available for retail grocery sales? It was formerly called "No-Roll" and was the grade above feed grade. Now it is called "Select" and is in a grocery store near you! Be warned.

    Also this link is about Tomato farming and flavor/nutrition.

    Was going to agree with above. Chances are some of these things being stuck together are being called higher grade meat when it could be from other parts and doesn't have same quality and taste, etc.

    Think of it this way, let's say one cut right now is $12/lb, now would you be happy paying that if you knew that cut was made from a package of "beef for stew" @ 1.20/lb glued together? I'm not because you are getting a substitute. Regardless of similar taste. I'd rather just do it myself with the $1.20 meat if it was that simple to do.

    Or better yet, I've always enjoyed my skillet steaks and other cheap cuts when cooked right. (Usually just faster. I'll admit it's no nice just thick hank of steak, but neither is it any worse I think than any of these real expensive tiny cuts like the fillet mignon.)

    But if you watch the video that is NOT what is happening ... they couldn't tell the difference between the two meats when they ate them.

    IF they were gluing together inferior bits of meat and claiming it is something better than it is, then yes that would be wrong ... but gluing together small QUALITY bits of meat seems like no big deal to me.

    Glueing together scraps of meat is bullshit! If you order and pay for Filet Mignon you damn sure better get it!

    This entire concept is horseshit! What if I piece together a Porsche and sell it to you? Does it have the same value? Not to mention that your eating that fucking chemical?

    I am crazy to be pissed about this type of behavior? This is the tip of the iceberg with the food industry in our country.You guys hear claim to be patriot and about freedom, honesty and disclosure. If this doesn't bother your a SHEEP!!!!

    Because of the way the chemical/meat companies constantly change the food chain I only buy grass fed and finished meat with no chemicals in it. It taste like the meat I used to eat when I was young! Cooks in 1/2 the time and is very lean. Wow I'm getting hungry!

    And it doesn't have that ligament/vein that is anatomically incorrect in the middle of your steak either!

    It also shouldn't cost an arm and a leg (pun intended) to buy healthy food.

    I can appreciate that, that if ya they tasted the same, say in a restaurant might not bother me as much. But if I *knew* it was just bits, even good quality bits mashed toghether. Might not be as happy. (Even assuming that the "danger" is overblown bs.) It's a more principle thing, Ie charge me $12/lb for the filet, but $10/lb for the assembled stuff. They still get a high price for quality bits, it's honest and in the open and we know what we are getting and can go cheaper if desired.

    These are scraps! We used to make hamburgers out of it, tasty burger for sure, but no Filet! In this instance they were "making" a steak out of like materials. But you can bet-your-sweet-ass that is the exception more than the rule. BTW Filet runs more like $25/lb and it is not acceptable to pass this crap off as a better product. Just because some people cannot decipher the taste difference does not make it less of a bastardization.

    People on this site Piss & Moan about so much stuff, why the shrug of the shoulders here? This is food! one of the few things (if any) we all do 3 times a day; and it goes into our bodies! This type of shit is killing us Americans, and we don't seem to give a shit. Where do you think colon cancer comes from?

    Sorry for the rant....Delfuego out...
