[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 731188, member: 13"] I agree that the vast majority of consumers don't care where their beef comes from. YOU are the one claiming that CAB will bite the dust when consumers discover it doesn't come from pure Angus cows. :lol: If the fast food "angus" burger is better than the generic fast food burger, it's better for Angus. No one buys a $6 burger at Carls, Jr. and expects a steak dinner. And those $6 burgers are good. I don't have to make a case; I'm simply enjoying poking holes in YOUR case. Don't know where you are, but Laura's Lean doesn't sell nearly the pounds that CAB sells. CAB sold over half a BILLION pounds last year. I doubt Laura's does anywhere near that business. Usinger's hot dogs were served to the US Olympic Teams. Good publicity is worth a lot and a tie with the US Olympic team is the sort of publicity the CAB brand is looking for. Yeah, Laura's "misstep" cost them the approval of the American Heart Association. That was NOT the sort of publicity a branded beef program is looking for. Didn't Laura sell the company right after that? While there are CAB "Prime" and "Natural" lines, we don't need CAB to be the highest priced beef on the market.
