Killing cows "kindly"? This segment seems a good argument for vegetarianism. Cows cannot naturally digest corn and must be shot up with antibiotics with who knows what consequences to the consumer. And of course the huge US corn crop is oil based-- is beef eating really sustainable in today's world?

Grass fed beef is healthier than grain fed and buffalo is healthier, tastes much better and is much better for the environment.

Great segment.

There are so many different steak tips out there its good to hear from a professional.

I love offal ; like liver, tongue not so much, but it's interesting about when to add the salt- after the oil- will try that today!!

You know, this segment is actually making me ill.
Why are you encouraging something that should be Discouraged, for the planet and for the animals who suffer in thhe ugly mass production of meat.

Farmers who raise cattle?
What planet is this guy from? Family farms represent a tiny fraction of the "producers" of beef.
In the interests of equal time, you really need to have someone on who can tell you
1) how these animals suffer throughout their lives (get that idea of a cow grazing on the family farm out of your head; these animals are are on lots and fed things they would never never eat naturally. Remember the cause of mad cow disease?

2) the horrors of slaughterhouses --humane killing is the exception not the norm.
3) The lack of oversight by the USDA --I won;t disgust anyone with a list of what has been found in the meat people are meant to eat.
4) the incredible cost to the environment of beef.

I had to look at my calendar to make sure this wasn't April 1. You must be kidding!

Why is so much European beef so tough and bad? I sually avoid it and opt for chicken, pork and veal when there. Are they cooking it wrong, is it raised wrong, or am I going to the wrong places? (That is, mainland Europe, I can't speak for the British variety, no offense intended ;)

The salt myth is a myth. The salt is not on the beef nearly enough to draw any noticeable amount of moisture out.

I am "corning" my first corn beef.

I have rubbed it with varoius spices ans salt and am suppose to have it in the fridge for 6 days under a weight.

Any advise.

Coors Light???

This guy just lost about 87% of his credibility.

do we really need to eat more beef in the US? what is the point of this segment?

Could you recommend a good vegetarian recipe.

i hope u talk about the high carbon foot print of corn fed beef
