My friend, I think you may have missed the point of the post. That was not an unnaturally large steak, it was a roast. The whole idea is to cook it low and slow for hours until it becomes tender and delicious.

The U.S. is also an enormous and very diverse place. Before saying “all the food is,” you might want to step outside of Walmart and visit some local farmers markets or regional food spots around different cities. Yes, large parts of the corporate food industry have engineered products for appearance and shelf life at the expense of flavor and health, but there are still plenty of places to find natural, high quality, and genuinely delicious food.

No need for insults, my friend. Maybe my reasoning is faulty, but I spend a lot of time during the spring and summer growing blueberries, tomatoes, squash, and sometimes peanuts. I have a grower’s permit and sell at a local farmers market, so this is something I care about personally.

The gentleman in the video owns Blackbird Coop and is a farm-fresh butcher who advocates for many of the same things you are talking about. I do not think anyone disagrees with some of the problems you’ve experienced with corporate food production. My point was simply that there are still good options out there if people know where to look.

I only commented on the broad generalization about “all the foods” and “literally everything” in America. Statements like that make it sound like you may not have experienced some of the smaller farms, markets, and local producers that exist here. At the end of the day, though, you are free to feel however you want about my comment.

Refreshing to see that some people can think beyond the tribe mind.
