[QUOTE="robert, post: 795651, member: 9171"] if anything is loose it is some folks grasp of history and historical context. CAB specs haven't changed in regard to the quality of the product, USDA grading standards were lowered to include what would previously have been the equivalent of select and called it 'low choice', CAB only allows beef that historically would have graded Choice anyway. So why were USDA standards lower? It was because the volume of beef meeting choice specs wasn't enough to meet demand, so as usual in government circles, they lowered the standard, why was supply tighter for Choice? D'you think it had anything to do with the increase in use of continental breeds that do not marble? So, what to do, allow continuing fall in demand as quality got lower or set a bar that say's 'only this will be good enough for our consumers'? Was it meant to drive demand for Angus bulls? Absolutely, but as we keep returning to the subject, who was already a black hided breed and who became black hided breeds and why? To continue to insinuate that CAB is dishonest because everybody else took a short cut to get some of the action is laughable. If a product gets popular based on pure marketing with no product to back it up it doesn't last long, so far CAB is 32+years and counting. :banana: [/QUOTE]
