Regarding wha...Anonymous - thanks for your comment. Regarding what you said about eating red meat and nutrtion, have you ever read about the BOLD study.<br /><br />It has a lot of great info about including lean beef in a heart healthy diet. There are 29 cuts of lean beef that the American Heart Association has qualified as heart healthy. If you go to www.beefnutrition.org you can find a lot of sound information about red meat in your diet. Thanks for reading!

Makin...This is pretty ridiculous and irresponsible. Making a sector lose insane amounts of money because Congress can't get their s*** together. Outrageous.<br /><br />On the other hand, the US could benefit from eating less meat in general. It's simply better for your health to limit your consumption of red meat to 1-3 times per week. But the meat industry here is so large and employs so many people that I think it would be pretty disastrous if meat production went down in the US.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878500961472457677.post-68605358830934678672013-02-28T16:16:28.828-06:002013-02-28T16:16:28.828-06:00Val - that's very frustrating as well.

Now a little insight into one form of government work - I have a sister who is in the Army. At her base, if this furlough comes to fruition, they are planning on having 4 day weeks for 8 weeks, rather than being "unemployed" for 2 weeks. By doing this, they also won't be allowed to collect unemployment during this time because it won't be a string of days of being unemployed. I think this is what will happen to meat inspectors as well. They'll probably not work on Mondays or Fridays - days where there is the smallest amount of trade.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15680253490735705479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878500961472457677.post-62642254292954128402013-02-28T16:14:59.312-06:002013-02-28T16:14:59.312-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15680253490735705479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878500961472457677.post-22701579519980476672013-02-28T15:01:41.325-06:002013-02-28T15:01:41.325-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.City Life to Ranching Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08651165078550967939noreply@blogger.com
