Ok but my understanding of this situations is that, just like Earls, the A&W issue with Canadian beef isn't the quality.
It is purely based on hormones and steroids. Perhaps I'm just uneducated on this but my understanding is that not all hormones and steroids are evil and cause mutant children or cancer or whatever. Much of it is to make the beef more bacteria resistant and such.
If A&W could convince me that the US hormone and steroid free meat that they use is tangibly better than the Canadian stuff, sure go ahead and choose the best product available. At present, I have no reason or information to believe that is the case.
