I didn't say it was anyone else's problem, did I?  My comments were
not made personally to YOU.  I can't tolerate things that other people
can - it doesn't bother me, I was merely contributing to the thread.

As to trusting a purveyor because "they wouldn't sell it if it weren't
still o.k. to eat," that's an ignorant attitude - mistakes are made
every day.

I don't want to be on the receiving end of an error that can easily be
prevented, thank you.  You are welcome to eat whatever you like.  You
may even have my share of "used meat."
