It’s National Prime Rib Day

My local Fox station says today is “Prime Rib Day,” and who decides this, I have no idea. Perhaps Rick Berman and his deep pockets are behind it, or perhaps the murderous ConAgra is behind it. ConAgra let consumers eat E. coli-tainted beef for two days while more tests were run on the suspect beef. People died because of it and others suffered permanent kidney and liver damage. Possibly some other large beef company is behind it. But at any rate, today has been declared “National Prime Rib Day.” I assume you’re supposed to celebrate it by blindly going to a supermarket to buy a cut of prime rib for dinner.

Less than one percent of beef in America is tested for BSE, therefore, you have no idea what you are eating. You have no idea if that prime rib you are about to eat was tested for BSE or not. You don’t know what you are eating when you eat beef.

Don’t ever blindly go to any store to purchase beef. Don’t just buy any cut you see. Go to a store that sells “natural,” grass-fed or organic beef if you must eat prime rib today. The problem with prime rib is that the meat is on a bone – the rib. Prions in meat hang around in nervous tissue and that means around bones. Always avoid cuts of meat exposed to bones and nervous tissue. Always! Unless you know that cow you are about to eat was raised on a small farm you can trust and fed grass it’s entire life. Organic is really best, if you must eat meat.

Personally, I will never eat meat again. Many CJD families are this way simply because we won’t give money to the beef industry so that it can keep killing its consumers. The beef industry and tobacco industry are the same in my book. Both still hock deadly products despite research proving their products are deadly. At least the tobacco industry admits to it now.
