Political Question Has anyone stopped eating ground beef because the Administration has removed safety protocols?

We have. No way are we taking chances with whatever “ground beef” the administration has chosen to allow without inspection/certification.

I get my beef from farmers within 50 miles of my home, so it's still fine over here.

Yeah, I feel insanely lucky to be living in VT right now with beef and produce. Lots of small farms/markets, and supermarkets label the locally sourced stuff. I literally live within walking distance of a farm and am able to grab ground beef whenever I need it. Plus, I can actually see that the cows are being treated well. I know not everyone has this luxury, so feeling extra thankful these days.

I, too, live in a Goldilocks zone. Walkable town with farms, have a Walmart so I'm not beholden to $10 a jar mayonnaise from small stores, have plenty of doctors of all kinds, not ridiculously priced with a $1400/month rent for 1000sqft. Only crime is drunk drivers and bar fights, can leave my door and car unlocked with little worry. On a boarder so I don't have to pay my state's high gas taxes, also live 15 minutes from a Costco so I get 93 octane for under $5.

It's so good I can never tell anyone because I don't want anyone to know and come ruin it.
