[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1822383, member: 42463"] It's unfair because the "premium" based on color has nothing to do with quality, or effort, or inputs... but only a fake relationship with a certification program that means nothing except as a marketing campaign sold to the ignorant, with no real value. When one person gets paid more for producing an orange widgit and another gets less for a green widgit, both widgets being equal in every way except for color, the "premium" for one is a "dock" for the other. It's nothing more than a slick marketing strategy that has worked much better than it deserves. And it's hurting individual high quality producers and the industry as a whole. If you can tell the difference between a carcass that grades choice and another carcass that grades choice... never seeing what color the animal was before it was skinned... then you can say it's fair. Until you can do that... it isn't fair. [/QUOTE]
