My Lady,  
I have to suspect that if you saw how meat is handled nowadays before it lays
swathed in poly & styrofoam that you wouldn't eat it either.  Most people are
ignorant of the meat processing industry.  The key thing is-- most of us
prefer to remain ignorant and pretend meat appears in the supermarket meat
cooler.

Who knows how many days their supermarket meat has been slaughtered before it
shows up in the meat case?  Not I.  How can we responsibly assume that our
society (which trucks beef across the continent) actually puts fresher meat on
our tables?  Frankly, I'm with Ras (A'aql, gesundheit!).  They probably had
fresher meat than we do.
