At the end of the day you get the best product for your price point. If you think theres something out there thats better but you have to import it from Timbuktu and its going to cost a fortune or whatever then you have to decide if your market strategy of being a mid-range eatery really warrants this and whether you can turn a profit in the long-run.

But you're not going to get a pat on the back for it.

What did Earl's think was going to happen? That they were going to corner the market on the Ethical Eaters while simultaneously taking people who are willing to part with dollars for a decent mid-range steak and rubbing their noses in their mediocre humanity and middling ethics?

Yeah, that was going to work out well. Whats this you say? Its already blown up in their faces in under a week? No one could possibly have seen that coming.

Well, fair enough guys. I guess I find it too easy to simplify the issue. I just don't care about any of that other stuff, give me the best tasting product, and it's too bad they didn't have that as their reason for the change from the start.

A hungry cow has a grassy field to its left, and a corn field to its right. Which field do you think it would choose for lunch?

I think animals are most often healthier when they eat what nature intended.

I assumed you had it slaughtered, packed and couriered in from Kansas. you know, so you'd get the best tasting beef and all.

You can't talk about eating vegans and not expect a comment like mine. I don't take it back, you perverts.

What a beautiful time to be alive when this is a cause of concern for people right now. People lose sight of how amazingly lucky we are

I didn't realise people would choose corn fed beef voluntarily. Gross.

To each their own. I find the overall taste to be poor. But I only eat steaks from cows we raise.
