Food Prices and Crappy Waterlogged Meat

Sure, FDA and USDA regulate those things also but you won't complain.

Nope, it wouldn't do any good so I avoid the stores that I know do that. Problem solved.

Then why make an issue out of it if you avoid those stores? And you don't know it won't do any good if you don't complain about what is going on in the stores. If everyone did nothing, nothing would never get done.

Just mentioned that it's done is all and you made the issue out of it all by yourself. It takes care of itsself when people catch on and quit buying meat when they have those fantastic sales. A lot of people don't care if they're on a tight budget because it allows them to get something they normally can't afford so it's not all a bad thing just irritating. As far as the canned goods go the quality may not be as good in some instances but I will buy an off brand of vegetable because they don't seen to do the increased liquid thing as bad.

You are the one who harped about it and got called out on it.

  That goes to show how stupid you are.  Won't do the right thing to protect the public.  I sure would and I wouldn't stop until they stopped.   

  There was a big, big food chain stores in the South that was rewrapping out of date meat.     They were turned in by one of their own employees.  The government fined and fined them for doing it, to the point of almost putting them out of business.     What a coward MOO BABY and full of bullshit.

Exactly, if everyone stood around and  didn't do the right thing then where would people be. I like the statement that if you don't stand for something, a person will fall for anything.

It's not a health issue, no one would get sick, and it's up to the people if they want to purchase meat that's got a lot of water in it. Now washing and rewrapping out of date meat is different and someone could get sick from that.

Has nothing to do with health has to do with weight and it's not illegal, unethical maybe but not illegal.

But it IS ILLEGAL.  According to your story, it was not stated on the package, hence, it is illegal.  Make the call if what you say is true. 

Enhanced Meat and Poultry Products
Many grocery stores are now offering meat and poultry products that have flavoring solutions added to them. For example, pork chops may be packaged with a solution of water, salt, and sodium phosphate (a solution that can add flavor and moisture to leaner meats). These new products also provide convenience by saving steps in preparation, such as "Teriyaki Beef in Teriyaki Sauce." To prevent confusion, the presence of flavor solutions must be stated on the front of the package.
Enhanced or value-added meat and poultry products are raw products that contain flavor solutions added through marinating, needle injecting, soaking, etc. The presence and amount of the solution will be featured as part of the product name, for example, "Chicken Thighs Flavored with up to 10% of a Solution" or "Beef Steak Marinated with 6% of a Flavor Solution." The ingredients of the flavor solution must be prominently identified on the label. Typically, this information will be on the principal display panel or the information panel.
The labeling term "marinated" can only be used with specific amounts of solution. "Marinated" meats can contain no more than 10% solution; boneless poultry, no more than 8% solution; and bone-in poultry, no more than 3% solution.
In the case of enhanced products, the solutions that are added to the meat or poultry, or into which the meat or poultry are placed for flavoring, seasoning, and tenderizing, are intended to be part of the product. The solutions are required by regulations and policies to be identified as part of the product names of the enhanced products, and whether the solution is incorporated into the product or is free- flowing, it is considered part of the product.

Hey Me!  Here's the burger I made tonight with water-logged hamburger.       Store brand meat and I got 4 quarter pound patties out of the pound of meat I purchased.  Normal amount of shrinkage and tasted great!

Man that looks better than the Big Boy Burger we talked about on the other thread.

I remember them. Mine tasted better, too!   My burger sauce is very similar to what was on the Big Boy Burger.  I also made a chipotle mayo that I put on it in addition to the burger sauce.  And sautéed onions!  Yum!

Thanks.  Cheddar cheese, sautéed onions, lettuce, tomato, burger sauce and my own chipotle mayo.  I enjoying making burgers.  I season the burgers with a secret recipe that I made up.
