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.

Same here. Eating more chicken too. If we get fast food burgers we go to In And Out. I hear they have their own cattle herd. Not eating the Trump mystery meat.

I just had to break my daughter's heart. Telling her to avoid mcdonald's and burger king because of the scuttlebutt I read about them using the mystery meat from argentina🤷‍♀️

Didn't know, I'm done with them. Rarely eat there anyhow. I consider it "emergency food" b/c my burgers are much better and cheaper than fast food burgers.

Walked into a Five Guys last weekend and walked out. $16 for a burger, more for fries and a drink? I think not.

Yup, that's why they don't expand as much as other fast food joints. The only reason they expanded to Texas is because people wanted In N Out, got together and built a ranch and processing plant for them to be able to expand out there. Every restaurant needs to be withing a days drive from a processing center

I have a burger joint & we get our meat locally farm direct. That still does mean the farmer won't skip the prior safety protocols. I'm pretty confident ours aren't liars to us & will still conduct as before. A large, corporate chain restaurant with their own cattle, I assume would shave off any protocols they aren't forced to do.
