I'll be sure to call the supermarket and tell them I want to KNOW for sure where the beef and pork are from, and I will only buy from the U.S.A. I guess I'll have to go to a meat market (not that near me) for my meat, unless the market changes their labeling.

Search Craigs list and buy a 1/2 cow or pig from a local farmer. Cheaper and better for you and the local economy.

It seems they should tell us which country. I felt they were being sneaky to list 2 or 3 countries, and it was in small letters. In fact, I didn’t even notice that I purchased some a couple of weeks ago.

HyVee stores post where their produce and meat comes from- an exception was yesterday I had to ask about a trout filet- was shown the fine print off to the side that said it was Canadian farmed rainbow trout.Everything else was labeled.

I had occasion to be in the store today and there was the sign in front of it like everything else. They label where their produce comes from also.

I noticed the same thing. Beef coming from USA, Mexico and Canada. That’s a mighty big cow! I didn’t buy any. I hate that they won’t tell us straight out where our food is coming from.

Interesting... is that like sponsoring a cow until it's time for buchering, or does the sponsor have to literally take one half of the cow, after slaughter?

Did you tell the store that you don’t like it?

As with so many things these days, it appears that they know what is better for us and our families.

Thanx for that great link in post #15!

I can’t wait to see if there’s a Farmer’s Market that sells meat in my area. I’m willing to drive a distance and stock up.
