It has a lot to do with processed food now. Back then, the meat department had a butcher, and the beef and pork came in as a whole carcass. I can almost wish we could go back to those days. Probably healthier.

Back to the supermarket headaches. thanks for listening.

Today's processed food is slowly killing us! So much for convenience.
