I don’t so please explain.

It probably has something to do with black cattle. I'd say we're getting off topic, but these days, any post is a good post.

It's a branding and marketing system set up years ago. It really doesn't mean it's a true Angus that you're eating. It has to be Angus influenced, with a predominately black color. There are some marbling requirements, and age requirements. Something around 2 1/2 years old or younger if I remember correctly.

But if he thinks that's a scam he should look into Kobe beef. Unless you've travelled to Japan it's highly unlikely you've ever had real Kobe. CAB is child's play compared to the Kobe scam, and prices.

Literally none of the meat you buy in a store has steroids/hormones/antibiotics in it, that is illegal. It’s 100% a sales gimmick, and it looks like you fell for it. Don’t believe everything you read off of a bag of tyson chicken nuggets… As someone that’s had a hand in feeding America for most of my life, this is incredibly annoying. I’ll bet you don’t know what Certified Angus Beef is either?

Unless things have changed drastically in the past 20-25 years, that's not correct.

I grew up in Arkansas. I've worked on chicken farms, processing plants, slaughter houses and have experience in poultry, beef, lamb and pork. I've seen chicken house rats large enough chase a cat to it's death into a chicken house fan. If I were someone with a weak stomach I wouldn't eat chicken, turkey, beef or pork after what I've seen. But I'm not, and I do. But wild game is still my favorite.

I understand your concern. Lets just say I didn't make many friend here. Most of the apparel I wore here was met with open hostility.

A few years back I had to make several trips to SF for training for work. My biggest guilty pleasure while there was messing with the hipsters.

I was eating the supplied Paleo vegan lunch they provided, and having a conversation with the urban lumberjack sitting beside me. You know the type, man bun, manicured beard, plaid shirt and skinny jeans. When he said "I just love animals". I can't remember what the conversation was about before, but it was a strange turn in the conversation. So I replied with "Oh me too, they're so delicious." After the horror on his face passed, he started to scold me about eating meat and hunting. By the end of the conversation I had him reluctantly agreeing that my lifestyle of hunting was much healthier and humane to animals than the penned and chemically enhanced (steroids and antibiotics) food you buy in the store. I think when I told him that my food was chasing tail one day, and in my skillet the next day without ever knowing what hit him... He agreed that was a better life for the animal. When I explained the conservation money that comes from hunters, and that most hunters were huge nature lovers and wanted to preserve it in a healthy way; and that without hunters that many deer would die from black tongue I think his head was going to explode. It's one of my fondest memories of Cali.
