I had to step back and take a second glance when I started seeing "gluten free" meat.

No shit!! Yeah, when you see something like that, you really have to ask yourself...'just what the hell are they putting in some of these products!' I mean, seriously, how could there ever be gluten in a meat product to begin with???? Someone had to have put it there, and the reason was almost certainly nefarious (i.e. to make it taste and/or appear differently than it would otherwise, etc.).
We already know (or, at least most people 'should' know) processors will often add Carbon Monoxide (not Dioxide) to meat to keep it looking fresh longer, and almost all retailers will treat meats with a solution of Sodium Nitrate with extra Oxygen (in the form of Chlorine) to keep it looking red under the fluorescent lights of a store environment. (And NO, we don't treat ANY of our meats with ANY of those products on this ranch!)
Plus, when you consider the whole absolute hilarity of the biggest ruse of all, "100% Angus Beef" (oh the stories I could tell!!), it should be no wonder that the quality of the beef that most people eat today, compared to even as recently as the late 80's and early 90's is stunning!! Can anyone say..."Broken Down old Dairy Cattle"??? Seriously! This is what you're getting in the store these days, and people are just oblivious to it. If people knew what they were really eating their head's would explode. I'm 100% serious when I say this too; I honestly don't think most people in society today have the psychological fabric capable of hearing the "truth", and not losing their shit as a result of it!
I hear it all the time, people saying how the beef from the grocery stores these days doesn't have any flavor anymore. I'll say this...they're not imagining things! They're right! They've had to treat that meat with all sorts of stuff just to make it even remotely edible!
This, all coming from a guy who's actually IN the cattle business!
