Remember what happened to Food Lion's butcher shops after that news report?

You know the one showing them bleaching chicken and changing expiration dates on beef?


Well, I would think it is safe to say that the same thing is about to happen to Kroger

1. Have you seen any of the meat they are actually trying to sell at Kroger's?

We stopped buying meat there months ago. They actually have the nerve to put out meat that is virtually GREY - and expect people to buy it. This stuff should have been shitcanned the week before.

I hope they do bust Kroger's.

2. A couple of years ago we found buckshot in a steak

someone had shot a cow and it had gone through the entire process and no one noticed

the manager gave me my money back. No free coupons or anything.

4. meat does that. it's called aging.

it doesn't necessarily mean it's bad, but we're just brought up expecting blood red every time. It's just oxygen.

5. Here in toledo

Krogers had every steak in the case painted up with so much riboflavin you couldn't tell marbling from lean on a ribeye.

I think they were dipping them in the shit.

3. No, I hadn't heard of Food Lion.

Although that name suggests it got it's meat from big cats. ;-)

But I have for many years lived where Kroger's stores dominate the grocery industry.

Eek-Coli!!! ;-)

6. It's not the same. Food Lion was actually re-packaging expired meat...

(I worked on the lawsuit). Kroger got theirs from the processor already contaminated. Though it would have been nice if they'd bothered to test it.

You've got to wonder what it's going to take before we have an FDA protecting our interests and not those of the mega corporations.
