So the government stepped in to make things right.

I presume this was posted to show how the govt. ruined beef?

Yet, the whole article after that little quote shows that the cattle ranchers were the ones that did everything to change the way beef is mass produced.

I wonder how long the author has been waiting to publish this rant on beef?

[stefanbatory]

in a way, it was. The government set the standard and all the producers have been striving since that time to meet the standard in the most efficient way possible. Unfortunately, the gov’t standard does not promote taste - it promotes fat. Try some of my dad’s home-raised beef once. It would never make the prime designation, but you will never taste a steak like it anywhere else...

I disagree. It stated how the government perverted the market, and how the market responded.

It would be a little easier to take the author seriously if the picture accompanying the original article had been of a steer rather than a lactating brood cow.
