But I mean... it IS just beef. Maybe it looks gross but most meat looks gross to people who think steak grows from steak trees or whatever. The tongue, lips, eyes, skin, and innards of cattle are all extremely edible and in some cases contain delicious collagen which is good for your joints. I agree that the term "ground beef" should be regulated to mean something specific so you're informed about what you're eating, but refusing to eat Cow Product because 'it's gross' is dumb and wasteful. Also if you're vegan you can go ahead and eat a dick. Non vegans can eat a dick too.
Grime time
This episode might be the best podcast episode I've ever heard! Fantastic podcast. Investigative journalism at its finest. And really funny!!!
So I just became a Patreon of Swindled. Why? Well been listening for a few years. So....Gotta give something back. And Fuuuuuucccccckkkkk!
The amazing thing about this story is how exposure backfired and once again the politicians and legal system helped the big guys win! Big meat won a lawsuit against the media for exposing some of the truth about them . I’m amused that commenters feel compelled to tell us how smart they are for being vegan, vegetarian or by packing their kids lunches (and something random about low protein in dry cereal) I love this podcast even when it makes me feel sick . Thanks for the laughs.
Yep. Also we should talk about the scant amt of protein on the ingredient list of most dry goods like cereal. 🪳🐜 my whole school district got free meals for all students. Also borderlands. I won’t let my kids eat it.
This is why I started packing my kids home lunches way back then. Disgusting how they have had this relabled for today's consumption. Thank you for sharing the truth. My favorite podcast 🤘😎
Ew. Invest in a kitchen aid and the grinder attachment. Try your best to know where your local butcher sources from.
Would love it if you guys did a 6-parter on how trump swindled america. Guess we gotta keep sitting around and waiting to see zero charges brought upon him though. There’s plenty there, but it wouldn’t have a satisfying ending I spose..
I’m so sick of trump, you can probably listen to trump inc. for that. Would not love that.
I am so grossed out!!
Amazing how businesses can't handle the free market. Also politicians eating dog food.
well I think I'll finally be making that jump and cutting beef out of my diet for good
I love the primary source quality of these episodes. Thanks for all your sonic work, Concerned!
Didn’t CC say he was going to make an announcement? I didn’t hear it if there was…
Dear God…
Soooo glad I'm vegan! Gross 🤢
Have you heard of "meat glue" lol!?
Whatever, it's all bad lol
All I can say is... "That sucks" <--- in a relaxed Concerned Citizen voice. I don't eat meat, don't care if people do, but man, all bad news.
"Tim Semen"? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lmao I love the "Meat Puppets" comments..
Vegans…hoorah!!!!!
Yikes, thank god I don’t eat meat 🤢
Hey look, another reason I'm a vegetarian. Gross.
Thanks for that gut punch
Buy local
Come again? 😂😂😂😂😂
Wow. I had no idea that it was just classified as ground beef now. Except for some for convenience-based fast food choices I make occasionally almost all of the beef I eat I ground myself. I shoot deer off the property and then mix it 50/50 with local grass-fed ground beef from a farmer I trust. The worst thing that's in my meat is a small piece of lead although I'm switching to lead free ammo starting this season. Cheers to life! Cheers to Swindled.
And now I want to barf. Gross!
Another one? Praise be 🙌🏾
