Oh no! I dont' eat meat so I don't have any but I love Archer Farms foods and I hope it doesn't hurt them. They have the best munchies! :wub:

FYI everyone....if you buy hamburger at Publix, the hamburger made by the butcher, on site is labeled "market beef". Please check the label, as this is what the butchers take home to their families. If there is no extra fresh meat to grind, market beef is not always available, so you have to ask for it. Privately and off the record, one of the butchers at my local Publix told me that he would not eat the hamburger made at the processing facility that is shipped to the store. Very few customers know this, so test me on this one and ask the butcher at the store.

Thanks. I did stop by the local Publix one day and no hamburgers were on the shelf. The butcher made some up while I finished shopping. Those were the best hamburgers I've had in a while. I'll certainly plan on trying your tip.

How do you tell if the hamburger meat is made at a processing facility? Is that the stuff that's in opaque tubes with a lot of writing on it, as compared to the stuff on styrofoam covered with plastic wrap? Is the latter what you call "market beef"?

You are so very fortunate. That's the only thing I miss about Houston.

Is the latter what you call "market beef"?all the styrofoam/plastic wrapped Publix hamburger meat is sent in processed except for the hand made stuff made in the store called "market beef". The hamburger they sell that's not labeled "market beef" could be from multiple bovine donors, and since I'm having tacos tonight, I don't want to go there.

Thanks for the info.

So you're talking about ground beef, not just pre-shaped hamburgers, right? Thanks for the tip.

[Bob]

So you're talking about ground beef, not just pre-shaped hamburgers, right? Thanks for the tip.yes, i'm talking about the ground beef....if it's labeled "market beef", it was made in the store....sometimes they'll form into patties...usually it's in the normal package.....just look for it, and ask the butcher to make for you while you shop.

Below is a link to Publix's description of their Market Beef. Apparently, market beef is green. Hmm....not sure how I feel about that. Green cows? :biggrin: Anyway, such cows are raised "humanely" and are free of hormones and such.

Publix raises their beef humanely.....just before the joyous ride to the "processing facility of happiness".......Publix processing spokesperson [identity withheld for PETA security reasons].

Ew!! I so prefer the smell of a burger on the BBQ than the taste. If on rare occasions I have a bite, its Nature's Promise-Stop & Shop's organic line of foods. They've got everything organic, the ketchup is delish!! Affordable & yummy too. Do you have Stop & Shop in Fl.?

what type of beef is it? I mean the fat content 7% 10% 15%?

[flspearit]

No meat for me. People, we have to start eating what's farm raised within 100 miles, all the energy & resourses wasted to deliever it to publix, especially when the produce is out of season, is what's killing us. Eat local, in-season produce. Start a garden. Food shortages are REALLY happening, I realize down here in this land of luxury, it's easy to forget, but WAKE UP!:yikes:it's all happening

We have to learn to take care of our community & not rely on publix & evil corporations like Walmart to feed our families.
Okay, that's my rant...
have a blessed and beautiful day everyone!:wave:
