Like Iraq, this is all about profits, and like Iraq Petroleum is at the heart of the issue, except in this case it is expended gasoline, or is more properly called DG-CO-Depleted Gasoline, Carbon Monoxide, an excrement, residue, a petroleum distillate leftover?
Obviously, my battle is the battle that Jesus, God and the prophets all fought, against man's worst evil, avarice. There is a great deal of avarice at work, here, and cash, the only ethic Bushite imitators comprehend, aside from sadism, at stake as well, in the FIMI (The Faking of Freshness In Meat Industry), which the US sellers call "case ready" meat. The kind that is sealed up in plastic (Is that plastic out-gassing, especially if the plastic is made in China or Mexico or the other purveyors of toxins, must be a thing of great, healthy substance, in itself?) straight from the slaughter of animals.
Keep your fingers crossed, we don't need more distractions from the war, and children dead from lied-about meat, ought to be a capital offence, if it is matter of greed. One excellent way to push the buttons is for everyone who reads this to call their largest chain grocer and tell them you will stop buying meat from them if they continue to use meat gassed-up from carbon monoxide. Let the carbon monoxide stay where it belongs, hanging ominously over traffic on an overhung cloudy, hot, murky, humid, summer night mixing gracefully with exhaust from factories, toxic out gassing from asphalt freshly laid by people lacking common sense on their driveways, and the smoke from millions of cigarettes.

The above bio harvested from the comments of Deans, colleagues, students, clients and collector's.
Ever wonder why packaged meat -- especially pork -- from the super market smells funny when you open the package?
Not just funny, but peculiar funny. Not like it's tainted. Just an odd smell that makes you think twice about eating it before tossing it in the freezer to be returned at a later date.
Several months ago the butcher at Whole Foods told me it's because of the gas used in the packaging.
Farmer John's ribs...same thing.
Moral: Eat less meat; spend a little more; and get it from a butcher shop, preferably a kosher butcher.
Hopefully, they can still be trusted.
