<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 3432432, member: 19250&quot;]Having worked in the food industry for over 50 years if most people knew what they are eating they would be eating!</p><p>Take ground beef years ago hamburger was ground at store level you knew exactly what was in the mix.... bull beef, trim, or even steak. The ground meat was tested for fat content at store level and marked as such.</p><p>If I ground a steak for a customer at 7:30 pm and then the customer did not buy it at 10 pm the end of my shift the package was marked as pet food and thrown in the freezer, ground beef never was sold after the day grounded.</p><p>Not any more stores get 50lbs tubes of ground beef which comes from the packing plant. In that 50 lbs. There could be 100 cows! Or more!!</p><p>There could be downer steers, far less than prime to say the least.</p><p>So you are correct standards have fallen big time.....and who&#039;s fault is that?</p><p>Well as a certified instructor in food handling and safety I can assure you that one day soon someone is going to blow the lid off the pot...as todays standards are a joke!</p><p>Big business should not be allowed to oversee themselves end of story! Food safety I take very serious as you can kill someone very easy,especially the elders and babies.</p><p>It took two plane crashes killing how many to prove that a major supplier of jets had some major issues to ground the fleet....and of course the one time leader of the free world was the last to ground planes! And why $$$$$$$$$$ big $$$$ a d the same thing is happen here....no one like to be monitored however there is this thing call trust.... and that the reason we need standards end of story.</p><p>Again in the last 50 years I&#039;ve been a baker,bucher, retail foodstore manager ,worked for the Irish dairy board, worked for a un named meat producer from Philly,and once again for a gourmet food company.</p><p>And I can assure any reader of this post without regulations in the food industry we all be dead!</p><p>Big business needs to be controlled no matter what they are selling.</p><p>The need be regulated over seen,and held to a standard.</p><p>Food stores should be Subejected to inspection by both state and federal agency&#039;s monthly.</p><p>You have untrained employees making $10.10 an hour...Not even a lievable wage, so what makes you think they don&#039;t need be held to a higher standard?</p><p>Ya see until it hits home your mom and dad killed in an air crash.....your grandmother dying much to soon because some untrained kid didn&#039;t practice propper hygiene..... just like taxes no one like to pay them.... but when the bridge you pass over on the way to work fails and falls.....and you&#039;re killed.... oh different story.... sad as long as if doesn&#039;t happen to me or my family who gives a rats butt?</p><p>Wake up....to what is real.....not the fairy tails big business tells you![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
