Did ya know that beef is the most consumed source of protein in America? Team meat is still in the lead!
Here are some other meat facts for the day courtesy of Scooter Bay:
- A 1,000 pound Angus steer yields 465 pounds of retail beef cuts from a 600-pound carcass: 25% are steaks, 25% are roasts, 25% is burger and ground beef, 25% is lost due to fat, bone and shrinkage.
- The beef you buy today is 27% leaner than it was 20 years ago.
- You would have to consume five 8 oz. glasses of milk and three 4 oz. cans of tuna to get the same amount of zinc found in 3 oz. of beef.
