I read an article in the New York Times a couple of weeks ago that went into detail about the process of, um, processing ground beef.

At Mr. Bee's (long-standing) request, I have finally begun buying all our meat and chicken at a reputable butcher shop. It is more expensive, but it is of better quality (taste) and for some reason, I feel better about it than pre-packaged super market meat. It may be an illusion, but what the heck.
