Re: Did anybody watch Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution last night?
My cousin's daughter (6 years old) was gagging over the ground beef portion and says she's never eating it again.
I haven't actually watched it yet. It's in my DVR and I'll probably watch it tonight.
#1 the ground beef "leftovers" taht are normally sold for animal feed is "cleaned" w/ amonia and then resold as ground beef.
#2 just the crap that are packaged school foods from central kitchens and this was specifically in LA Unified Schools. And, the fact that the school board and superintendent completely shut Jamie Oliver down and wouldn't allow him access to any schools. And, when you see the food they are serving the kids, you realize why they don't want anyone to see. The school lunch is pizza and french fries, breakfast is a DANISH and chocolate milk. I didn't see a single piece of fruit or vegetable - or whole wheat bread. How hard is it to serve a yogurt w/ banana and some toast for breakfast? Or, some cheerios and cornflakes or raisin bran.
yum. yeah I knew it was pretty nasty but I never put too much thought into it since we hardly ever purchase beef in my house.
I don't want to know the truth about ground turkey. I am holding my fingers in my ears.
yes - it was sooo bad - I told my hubby I wanted to go straight to the amish market for our next trip . Occasionally we buy at costco as its been conveinet and cheaper. My husband DVR'd it so he could show parts of it to his health class !!
It really makes you wonder what we really put in our bodies and how much the USDA "protects" us . Yikes
seriously - I'm going to the organic market for everything.
I didn't watch the show..... so I might have missed something... but did the store wash the meat or did the farmer?

He didn't really discuss that part. My take was that the meat processors do it. Does it make a difference who's adding ammonia to the meat?
It's an approved process as far as the USDA is concerned, so it's not as though someone's slipping it in. My guess is it's done at the processing plant, not by the farmers and not specifically in the stores.
I guess my point was that if it's approved by the USDA.... why would Organic be any different?

Valid
On the show, Jamie recommended that the only way to avoid it was to go to a butcher and have the beef ground in front of you, which is possible, but maybe hard to find in many areas. One could also ask a farmer if they use ammonia/trimmings in their ground beef and hope that they answer honestly.
Amish markets and organic aren't going to guarantee a better quality product (particularly Amish markets).
What about kosher meat I wonder? Treuth's in Oella has kosher meat and they will grind the meat for you (and they're a slaughterhouse as well.) Wonder if their meat is okay.........
