I work in an industrial beef slaughter and packing company. USDA is not working up to standard. There were any times we should have been temporarily shut down. My girlfriend also worked there as a QA (quality assurance). She told me that with briskets once theyve been processed the final stage is to inject them with some kind of liquid mixture just to make them seem bigger and heavier because at the end of the day it all comes down to money. Also, the washing the meat part they talk about, when the meat is on the production line towards the end before they get to the packaging team it goes under some sprayers that spray this "sanitizing" mixture to keep the meat free of pathogens. When i was selected to go to a safety meeting that included very little people the guy holding the meeting said that just a drop of that substance without being diluted would clear a room thats about 15ft by 15ft of all adults very quickly. Yet we we douse the meat in a diluted version of this stuff. I have so many stories its just unbelievable.

Thanks for the information. They must be doing the same thing to pork and fowl as well. You've opened my eyes to what I suspected was going on. Time to share this information and support our local ranchers.

[@barbaraberrier8840]

Thanks Trinity for sharing this info. Now I need to share this with friends etc. I'm on a very low income and have wanted to buy from a local meat market that buys from local ranchers, but kept thinking I can't afford it. I came to the realization awhile ago that if I buy meat to make casseroles and crockpot meals I can afford the quality straight from farm meat and the meals will last for the whole month till next check comes in. I'm excited to start this new way of life. Thanks again.

[@africkinamerican]

Absolutely. Also, meat can go a long way in soups

[@joshuadavis7592]

Sooooo, how can we hold the USDA accountable? Didn’t know you could purchase from local ranchers? Learning something new and loving it!

[@nancycrisman7496]

Thank you both!

[@Voyagersk9]

This was an excellent video Trinity! It’s super important and this needs to address now so we don’t loose all the family ranches! They are the heartbeat of America along with the farmer! 👍👍 great job! Keep this going!

[@johnhuffman2012]

Trinity, first thank you for allowing us to live vicariously through your ranching activities. More importantly, thank you for the education you bring to us all. As I watched I wondered if the cattle raisers could form a coop for processing plants, but it seems that was touched on toward the end of the video.

[@raymonddunne7153]

Done! I found a local butcher who sells beef from local ranchers. This feels good i need to start buying locally grown produce and eggs also. Thanks for this i guess ive been going along with my head up my keister.

[@DeezelxDr3amz]

i had no idea the companies were importing beef and placing US labels on it. But this makes so much sense for me now. Ive noticed in the last year or so the grocery store i would frequent, its beef has degraded in visual quality heavily and it also cooks, and tastes different, than what i know i was buying before. Thank you for this information, i knew i wasnt going crazy. Time for me to start buying locally and independently produced goods.

[@joshuadavis7592]

I'm seriously loving this conversation! Educating!

We need to talk about FDA doubling sulfur levels in animals foodstuffs. This comes from sulfuric acids used in processing and preserving foodstuffs. The DDGS contains sulfuric acids residue destroying vitamins and minerals and stopping absorption of vitamins and minerals. This makes meat stink if high enough levels and tuff meat. This damages the health of animals and humans. Most this is in grains products.

Great Video --from CA, as a cancer survivor I can relate to this video my parents used to feed me milk from the grocery store and I was like a real cow until I started having issues with my digestion and it was childhood leukemia long story short we were also eating fast food the 90s and now I try and buy Bison from a rancher in TX and have it shipped here to horrid CA even tho its expensive because cancer sucks and our health is priceless🦬 I only eat organic now and skip the dairy. There is a film called BOSS on netflix that recounts a butchers experience dealing with this slime highly recommended! God Bless Yall

[@iloveseaglass]

Have you looked up Dr Thomas Seyfried. Worth listening too

God bless you. If all the more affluent Americans would insist on only organic, and local as much as possible then it would change the marketplace.

[@Troutelectric4492]

Trinity, have you heard about the 5 or 6 large ranchers, I belive, from Wyoming and Montana, they are building their own packing facility, outside of Wheatland Wyoming? As I understand it, they have the go-ahead and permits etc. To proceed. It's supposed to only process livestock from local ranchers to the areas of western Nebraska, Wyoming, Montana, South Dakota as an example. I'm an agricultural Electrical Contractor, when I'm home. Local to Wheatland Wyoming. I've been in Southern Nevada working for a while now and haven't been able to get the info first hand as of late, but in my mind this would be a great thing.

[@c.a.5808]

Thank you, Trinity. Your channel and guests never fail to educate and enlighten us! I'm from IN. we bought beef directly from the Amish back then. Our neighbor's/friends shared sides, a local butcher would cut, and package. You could rent a locker & or have a freezer in the garage. Nothing compares, nothing tastes better than farm raised beef! Sadly, I moved to Ca... Though I bought property that was permitted and coded for cattle, at the time, my local town officials, Without, a 🗳 vote... other than their 2 city hall meetings, changed the land use code! Making it a violation to keep split hoofed species! I was told by the mayor at a local restaurant meeting with our livestock association. Who didn't even live in within our Town Limits at that time, that they drove around & counted the livestock, and "The cows and horses were going away." Ultimately... we lost, and my property values went down as well! At every turn, citizens' rights are being impacted... I live in the High Desert 🏜 of Ca. less than 2 miles from where Roy & Dale Evans lived. They changed the land use code once again to allow a quiet sale for a Wal-Mart Superstore location as well (less than a mile from my property) and our Town Hall. But this time, the public stood up for our way of life and why we moved here. But, we must be willing to fight diligently to save what little we have left. Go to your local City and Town meetings, or you'll become the 🐑🐑🐑, and wake up, to "Their World View... Not Ours🏇" Before it's too late! God bless yah all, from a proud cowgirl!🙏

I bought a piece of land over 35 years ago to put a processing plant on but havent been able to fix my dream. I would like to talk to this man about building a processing area for our farmers.

[@SuperDuty23XL]

I found a farmer about an hour from me that sells only grass fed beef, , raised using regenerative practices, processed at a small processor that I have used for a few pigs and a couple cattle that we raised. Yes, it is twice the cost of the supermarket. But , if we don’t start buying from these small farmers , as said in the video, they won’t be there in the future. And the beef I buy is delicious, and more healthy and full of nutrition. Consumers need to wake up.

[@know-a-guy]

This was a great video Trinity. One of your best informative discussions.

[@paulrivers7248]

This guy is full of knowledge that needs to be introduced into our FDA to get things strait! BUY FROM A LOCAL RANCHER YALL!! And if you think they are hard to find well you probably pass atleast 5 ranchers on your way to Wal-Mart or Costco! And you dont hv to live out west, i live in north GA and we hv plenty no thier not a big rancher like out in the grassland out west but thier enough to supply thier little communities..Yes its a little higher but is your family not worth it! But if you figure it all out all the way to the end of the slaughter then its really not that much more,you may say i cant afford to buy a whole cow well get 5 people or however many just 2 whatever and yall go in on one cow and split the meat between everyone that put thier money in it,its not that hard or expensive if you do this. My neighbor and i go in half on a cow and the meat last both my family and his all yr.. both of us hv a family of 4 per household. Now we don't go wild on eating it but it does last us, and its so much of a better meat.

[@belinda888]

Thanks for such an eye-opening interview. When I first heard about the new lab meat, I decided to avoid burgers and all processed meat and just eat what looks like it had lived. This has just reinforced my idea. Will be going to my local reputable butcher as soon as I can.

[@zandercage4383]

Glad we raise our own grass fed beef, buffalo, pork, chickens and turkeys.

Not eveeyonenhasbground to even do abfee chickens. County says you can't have even 1 chicken in your yard.

[@AgnesMariaL]

​@@mishaanton5436If no-one complains, the county will never know ;) ;) Alternatively, if you don't have much for space, you can raise rabbits or coturnix quail: both are quiet (except the quail roosters, but their 'crow' is a very pleasant trill so your neighbours will think you got a pet tropical bird, if they even hear it!) and both will give you good meat, with the quail also providing an abundance of eggs :)

Awe man. I just bought $45 worth of pig and beef today that was discontinued for quick sale. I was feeling so good about the savings....then I watched this video. My 🎈 lost all its 💨 and now I feel 😐. So here's the problem I face as a consumer; I make very little money, I have many mouths to feed, big heads are taxen the crap out of everything, and inflation is strangling my dollars. I want to buy direct but I cannot afford the cost of buying direct🤷

[@gtillen]

They're actually is a cost-effective healthy solution to this issue however most people simply don't want to raise kill and butcher animals. Rabbit meat is one of the cleanest healthiest meats that you can consume. It is relatively inexpensive to produce and requires little in the way of space which means even City dwellers could actually raise their own meat. There is also the additional by-product of the pelt and the fertilizer. I tried this as a business back in the early seventies but I decided I didn't like killing bunnies for a living either.

[@africkinamerican]

@@gtillen I would think chickens are even more straightforward and simple. Although there is the issue of rooster noise.

[@gtillen]

@@africkinamerican true but roosters are not required to get eggs and new chicks can be bought as needed. Even so, chickens are much louder than rabbits, smell worse, their poop is too strong to use straight in the garden and I would much rather skin a rabbit than pluck a chicken 🤔 Plus they reproduce quickly and abundantly

Thank you Sir for sharing this problem with me. I will adjust my spending to where it helps the small ranchers!

[@01dumbfrog]

It’s not just beef, I used to drive refrigerated trucks and haul broccoli from Laredo to Kent Washington and then back to Arlington Texas and then open up the doors of my trailer and I would have all these little boxes of broccoli stamped Made In the USA and this was in February there’s no broccoli 🥦 being grown in Texas in February and get unloaded at Walmart Distribution. So I agree 100% with you. We catch wild pigs and load them up in a livestock trailer and then haul them to Dallas for slaughter and processing into boxes to be flown to France and sold as “Wild Boar”. It used to be horse meat being transported to France but now it’s wild pigs.

[@africkinamerican]

The idea that trucking broccoli up from Mexico (I assume), across the Rockies all the way up to Washington, having a facility box it, then truck all the way back to Texas, under expensive refrigeration the entire way, is more cost-effective than producing and cold storing it locally, is mind-boggling to me. There have to be a bunch of non-economic incentives (tax, regulatory) behind these goofy practices.

[@myrancor]

I survived colon cancer (so far). Living in Western SD I’m fortunate that I can buy my beef direct from a rancher or small locker. Since my surgery I’m more sensitive to digestive food process. I have noticed when I grab meat in a pinch (usually forget to thaw something) from a grocery store my stomach doesn’t feel right and often upset. Unlike when I cook beef product from the rancher/locker. A young couple of friends of mine in Az are similar with any protein his wife eats from the grocery store resulting in a frequent trip to the ER. But fish they catch themselves, wild game and protein direct from ranchers she is always ok with. Stuff in the stores is chemically added poison anymore.

[@anacerar6810]

What brave men. Big thumbs up !!!

[@brendanjparedes]

Great piece... frightening, but a great one. If you are looking to get local beef, pork, lamb, and poultry, a lot of farms go to farmers' markets year-round. Granted, if you are outside of a city, you can find local farmers' markets easily, but for the last twenty years all the meat I get comes from local farms. A lot of the restaurants who are marketing their high-end meats around me? Same thing, they go to those same farms. I ran into a family at the winter market in Sheboygan twenty years ago that's raised lamb for generations, invites customers out to their farm every year to see their operation, the animals they raise, and it is the best lamb I've ever had. Beef and pork come from a family farm in the same county. Get a box from their twice a year with a lot of different cuts, all from their farm. I want chicken, I go to one of the farmers I've met at these markets, and buy chickens from them. It's harder in a city but, most of these farms, a lot of different family operations throughout the midwest and up in Montana now, ship from their ranches and farms. It's better-tasting food. Not that much more expensive but wildly better quality. When I was a kid growing up on the East Coast, we never bought seafood in a grocery store. We'd go to some place like Sea Isle City in South Jersey for fish that was so fresh off the boat it was still kicking. What amazes me is that with all the agriculture, all the livestock raised in Montana, they aren't producing for local groceries. All that livestock is shipped out of state, slaughtered, processed, and then shipped back to stores in the state. Check out your local farmers' markets and websites for local family farms.

[@c.a.5808]

@brendanjparedes... Wonderful comment, and helpful, it requires planning, given when a Farm harvests their animals. But healthier for us all, worth the effort, and supports the men and women who sincerely care about our land, resources and countrymen🇺🇸

[@brendanjparedes]

@@c.a.5808 Not as much planning as you think. At least not around me! lol. Most farms and ranches in this part of Wisconsin deep freeze and vacuum seal a lot of meat, in addition to what goes up for sale around harvest time, so you can get a pretty steady supply. So, what we see at our market is pretty steady in terms of supply throughout the year. It's still a relatively new business model around here. For folks around urban centers, you probably should start looking on the internet for farm-to-table outfits. Just a thought. But, if customers are demanding higher quality meats, and those small ranchers are making money from say, farm-to-table internet sales to yuppies in New York or Chicago, DC, Philly, then that will force some pretty big changes on quality in the packing business. Takes time, mind you, but seems to be potential... IF you have enough packing and processing capacity in your area... like I said, it's a thought. I'm always on the lookout for new vendors in case an old one goes away.

[@africkinamerican]

I bet you will find there is a maze of local, State and federal regulations that broke the chain between local producer and local market. Because otherwise, it simply does not make sense. Back in the 70s, the reigning federal government philosophy for agriculture became "Get Big Or Get Out."

[@africkinamerican]

Just as I suspected... I went down a couple of comments and somebody was telling a story about how a handful of people in his small city basically zoned livestock out. But were fine with low-key zoning changes to allow a super-Walmart. Watch your local zoning committees!
