This is gross. I wonder if major grocery store chains sell this beef? I wonder if it is in some of the beef - depending on beef/fat ratios?

On a related note, I remember the Texas cattlemen lobbying the Bush Administration several years ago to loosen ground beef standards. The Administration gave in (I am sure it took very little lobbying). This is when traces of spine and other parts were allowed in beef ( small quantities ) and the Japanese prohibited our beef from entering their country.
