Supermarket Meat Comes From Sick Animals

[Gary and Alla 3,694]

***** As requested by the OP, please stay on the topic of unhealthy meat in supermarkets. While PETA is very involved with fighting unhealthy (or any) meat production, and if only naturally dead/ roadkill would be eaten, then the issue mentioned in the OP would not exist, this thread is not about PETA as an organisation ******

This is a pretty good site to find meat and other farm products from pasture-based farms that grass-feed beef etc:

Road kill and meat from animals that died of natural causes should be sold in Supermarkets. It would be healthier. I think that if the rules regarding horse meat can be changed and that horse meat can be sold in Supermarkets, why not roadkill and animals that died of disease?

How would you regulate that?

How would you regulate that?

Why do we need to? Label it in the Supermarket "Fresh Road Kill" and let it go at that. All this regulaion is nonsense really. I have eaten plenty of game I killed myself without regulation. We drink milk fresh from the cow right now, eggs right off the nest. Whats the problem?

The market will determine whether it is successful or not and whether people want meat which has been produced under factory conditions or not. What are we afraid of?

The problem is when the first question is "How do we regulate that?" Assume first no regulation is necessary and go from there rather than "regulation is necessary, how do we do it?"

Road kill is a very popular meat source in Alaska.

Yep and has been for years up here. Moose especially. If you run into a moose and kill it you get first dibs on it after the Troopers show up. If you don't claim it then it goes to people who signed up on the "road kill list"...pecking order goes by yearly income. Train kill for moose which numbers in the hundreds every year goes to poor people and the prisons.

They need to get on the ball with that, though. The number of upended sets of moose legs I counted along the road from Haines to Anchorage indicated a heck of a lot of waste going on.

Those must be Anchorage n00bs. Iv'e come across them a few times when they hit a moose on the Parks Highway and asked if they wanted to claim it, and they always say "no", so I run back home and grab my sawzall. I take everything back home with me.

It's really simple. Give my thread the same kind of treatment given to yours. If anyone posts a reply in this thread that isn't discussing/addressing the specific topic at hand (supermarket meat coming from sick animals), delete those posts. Kathryn said that the moderation is the same for all the threads in P & R, so do the right thing.

I bought bacon tonight, 2 pkgs for $7 on sale, probably from sick animals so it is cheap. I will cook it thoroughly and crispy and place it on my turkey sandwich for lunch tomorrow, which turkey was also bought at the supermarket, along with Claussen pickles made from sick cucumbers and real mayonnaise made from the eggs of sick chickens
