A GREAT PLACE TO BUY PORK IN RALEIGH NC
Lots of people all over the USA just love a great pork steak,center cut pork-chops.
For last 15 years I would shop at my local grocery store, and be very disappointed in the
qualty and value of what you get.
A good pork chops that not too thin, not too thick, not too much fat and not a lot of bone.
That’s not asking too much, but after shopping at the grocery stores and seeing the nicely
packaged packs of pork on display at the meat counter, and buying and serving to the family
for so long and just dealing with the fact that in each package of 5 to 10 pounds 1/3 to 1/2 of the pork is fat, bone and mixed lean, fat, that looks like throw away scraps.
We went to 4 of the major grocery supermarkets in Raleigh and surrounding area’s and purchased 2 packages of pork chops about 7 to 10 pounds per package, from each store,
we found that all four stores was doing the same thing. Each package had the top of the package displayed very nice, the meat looked great through the plastic wrap but under the top layer was, what my sister calls, “scraps for dogs food” not what you want to eat.
Each package had only 1/2 to 2/3 of eatible meat in them, this is a practice that’s been happening for years, and it could be an industry practice accross the board.
Well what can you do? Write you grocery store, call your consumer BBB, your local government, complain to the USDA or don’t shop that store.
I found a place in Raleigh NC, at the North Carolina State Farmers Market.
