They also could have left people the option to purchase Canadian beef while still making the majority switch. They didn't do that either.

Seems like we agree

But this humane crap doesn't cut it for me.

If it does end up being a better product then I like the move. But if they end up serving a lesser quality meat just because it's "humane" then screw them. I don't care where it comes from, as long as it's delicious
