It's all about aging.

And marbling and intramuscular fat. My friend is going to ultrasound his mega-bucks angus soo I will post some pics.

My German butcher in NY Karl Ehmer rules, I get fantastic quality beef from them compared to the trash thats usually available in the supermarket shelves. When I am in an extravagant mood, I would splurge on true Wagyu imported from Japan, it costs a lot but is well worth it.

The stuff on supermarket shelves is still pretty good. Choice is choice, prime is prime. Like medmech says, how it's aged sets it apart from the rest.

Guess you should come down here in Staten Island and check whats on the shelves at local Pathmark, Shop Rite, Waldbaum's and Top Tomato. You will change your mind.

I always preferred elk over cow.

one thing about iowa.we do raise the best beef.we usually go in with others and buy a whole cow and get a 1/4.they are soo much better then the store,plus they are touched by one set of hands,not 300 in the packing house.

I haven't touched a piece of beef since the PETA videos from Agriprocessors in Postville surfaced a few years ago.

I was already having to pay a premium for beef that was supposed to be free of added hormones and pesticides, but the cruelty of the industry combined with the health risks took all the pleasure out of eating the stuff.

Yup. And don't forget about the antibiotics they pump into these animals so they can digest corn without exploding. (Ruminant stomachs are made to digest grass, not rich grains like corn.) I haven't had a piece of beef since around 1990. Started out as part of a weight loss regimen, and I felt so good and the weight was so easy to manage that I never looked back. Since that time I've done enough reading to understand the many other benefits... personal health, public health, environmental, moral. If I were to ever eat meat again, it would only be from wild game, as the poster about elk had written.

Yes, I want to eat an animal that has been standing shoulder to shoulder with 400 other close friends for the last 10 months, hock-deep in manure and urine and fed corn until it's liver is full of lesions.

Yum.
