“Beef is essentially beef “ thanks at least that was settled.

Clone effect looks weird af

[@dabutchaistoxic]

But what is beef?

[@QuestClaimer]

@@dabutchaistoxic I think its beef

[@matieujalbert3533]

Anyone else notice that the beef hanging on the left is the same as the beef hanging on the far right lol

+Matieu Jalbert Videoshopped!!

[@cosmos7engineer]

Matieu Jalbert you're right, every element is the same,every cut,scar, red spot, white spot

[@csapienza001]

Even easier to see is the red object on the ground beneath the hanging meat.

[@cosmos7engineer]

diglossia if you look closely, you can actually see the whole frame put there on the right side, perhaps they wanted to cover sometimes there

Fun Fact: White Castle burger sliders are made exactly as described in the beginning of the video - they buy the 50%/50% "plate" and the 90%/10% "shank" and grind them themselves and mix them up and make their own White Castle Slider "mix" - from huge-ass pieces of the "carcass" ... and as everyone knows, White Castle Burgers are motherfreaking awesome.

[@TheTruth-uy4kp]

Theres different qualities, the worst is always frozen and ready cooked in packaging that you can't see through, often says on the packaging the meat is mechanically removed from the bone (in giant steam tumblers usually) and often has chips of bone and gristle in, its also used in cheap ready meal lasagnes, chilli's etc.. If it's not frozen and in clear packaging it's usually propper hand cut trimmings from when the butchers prepare the more expensive cuts of beef, produced as explained in the video.

[@logant44]

fuck i bought some of that yesterday hahah. time to throw it out

[@xBloodXGusherx]

This guy is a slick talker. You can see him getting offended while explaining and not straight forwardly answering her questions.

[@csr326]

Viq it’s beef trimming not much to really talk about. It’s self explanatory

[@csr326]

Crystal Dreams do you really believe that? I mean do you really? What kind of poison ? Enlighten us please *smh*

They left out the part where they add fillers and water and sell you 10 ounces of hamburger for the price of a pound.

If you buy at McDonalds maybe LOL

[@CaptDude]

This is perfect 👌, thank you for explaining.

[@EzekielsCall]

my concern is that I am not supposed to eat certain fats “Chelev refers to the outer layer of fat called suet. The prohibited chelev is the abdominal fat on the stomach, kidney, and flank. It can be peeled away like a skin” Are any of these fats added to ground beef? I also can’t eat pork, is ground beef processed on the same equipment as pork?

[@erintubb9860]

Commercial slaughter houses only deal with one species of animal. Cattle slaughter houses only do cattle. Pig slaughter houses only do pigs. It takes different equipment for each species. The only places that do more than one species is small lockers/meat shops that only do a couple of animals a day, not the hundreds to thousands a day that commercial plants do.

[@beemo9]

The info seemed factual & frank to me. Which claim in the video do you disagree with?

[@omega4chimp]

Does most ground beef contain plate.

[@garyagentg]

This is an old post, there are social media videos claiming ground beef is trimmings from all different animals is a myth. I actually worked in a butcher shop in a retail store where I actually ground a whole part of one animal packaged as a flank beef. They were labeled lean or the other fatty ones medium. etc.

[@Bearsarepeople2]

[@danielskrauklis1994]

does ground beef contain fat that is around organs or tallow?

those arent really trimmings like the ones they put in hotdogs lol 0.o

[@mattcrrn]

He stated meat is only good for 1 day in the refrigerator is a lie, and also saying if its not vacuum sealed it doesn't freeze well another lie. You can break down a 10lb block of beef and put them in sandwich bags and just try to get as much air as possible and it will store well for months.

Here in Wisconsin, our farm has the largest non commercial grinder available. We throw our cows in live. The meat is spoiled and no good, and we have to constantly replace things, but it's a whole lot of fun. You can even see it on Google Earth. KZbin Grinding Cows at Gullible Family Farm.

This is industry propaganda to counteract exposure of slaughterhouse practice and the well publicized cases of ground beef recall from unscrupulous producers.

[@vorkev1]

one thing they do not tell you is the resin hamburger is so high in price and the cut of meet its that with meet glue they could have made a steake and made more money so they want to recupe some cost when using hamburger

Yes, I will ask ... "errr, hi, has this been ground from muscle??" They'll boot me out, and I'll tell the cops who slam my face into the pavement that you ain't the only one who.... crap. I was trolling, now, leave me alone.

[@codyblair92]

This guy seems nervous.

[@hemiller6517]

From all these comments it sounds like you all are eating an abundance of anti meat propaganda. Meat in any form is highly regulated in the U.S. and is safe and nutritious.

[@hannahpcw2010]

In ANY form? Kfc? Maccas? You're an idiot

[@hemiller6517]

Hananh Jackson Thanks, Hananh, for you thought provoking comment. What's not safe or nutritious about the chicken meat at kfc, or other meat in other fast food joints? What they put in, on, or around the meat may not be. The actual meat itself, what is not safe, nutritious, or regulated about it?

[@BungieStudios]

There's no such thing as unhealthy foods. There's only diversity of nutrients and portion control. If you eat a whole bucket of KFC chicken, you've probably consumed enough energy to last you a couple days in one sitting. And just because you bought the seasoned and prepared poultry at KFC instead of your local deli, does not mean it came from the fictional city, dirty El Greco in Mexico, with a malnourished meat industry rampant in e coli and salmonella bacteria.

[@jimmysnyder4853]

Sorry guys, Hemiller is absolutely correct. There's a sizeable increase of test for meat in the USA just to get get it a passing score. USA will not accept or allow food to be transferred in fro. Other certain countries. then you would s has a lot to do with certain bacteria and foods that have steroids,mutation, to make it weigh more, etc, etc. These restaurants or fast food companies have children in a about them 24/7.
