From Where We Stand ...
Dual Grading To
For 35 years the U S Department
ol Agriculture has had a meat grading
service
Up -until the beginning of World War
•I only about B'. of the beef consumed
in the country was federally graded
under the voluntary program, but since
that time, the proportion of the graded
product*has gone up to about halt the
beef consumed.
There have been increasing questions
as to the value of the system which put
most emphasis on the amount ot fat
covering on meat
With the trend toward less exer
cise and lighter 'meals, the desire for
leaner cuts of meat has grown stronger
and more emphasis has been placed on
leaner cuts and on leaner carcasses
Recognizing this trend, the Depart
ment of Agriculture will make available
a program ol dual grading of beef. Car
casses will be marked No 1 through
No 6 with No 1 representing the high
est cutting percentage of lean retail cuts.
Almost a decade ago, a spokesman
for the Department of Agriculture said,
the Department foresaw that the current
beef grading system should reflect- the
growing consumer preference for high
quality beef with most of the fat trimm
ed away
To eliminate the need for trimming
ind the consequent use in the cost of
narketing, research was begun to de
velop techniques which would more
ully recognize the merits of the “meat
ivpa steer
The proposal for change in the
icef grading system came about as a
esult ot requests from producers The
ncposal has been endorsed by the
American Cattleman’s Association as
well as many of the state organizations
of cattle producers and other livestock
groups within the livestock and meat
lade who want a more accurate mar
et identification.
We believe a number of meat pack
ing firms will want to try the new
grading system when it becomes avail
able in July, but we are certain there
will be objection to it
Alx-eady the American Meat Institute
has come out in mild ojiposition saying,
thiough its president Homer E, David
son, “The meat industry sees no reason
lor government intervention .
We wonder just what portion of
the meat industry Davidson* actually
* cpresents when he speaks We wonder
'1 the objection comes, as he claims,
T rom producers of livestock who stand
to gain by getting a fairei share ol
eturn from meat type animals, or from
the large packers who see a possibihy
i-hat they max have to pay part oi their
profits to the producer of high quality
uvestock The proposal is not lor com
julsory inspection any more than the

Favor Lean Beef
present grading program is compulsory
We agree that little m the way
of breeding for leaner beef animals
can be done in the short space of the one
year trial period, but we believe it is
another step in the right direction of
producing what the consumer wants in a
form which will return a greater pro
portion of the consumer’s dollar to the
producer
At least that’s how it looks from
where we stand

Eggs In Orbit
Why are eggs consistently m the
diets of astronaust? asks a news release
from the Poultry and Egg National
Board, the egg industry’s national or
ganization for promotion and advertis
ing
As a result of numerous inquiries
on the subject, PENB’s general man
ager, Lloyd H. Geil has come up with
some answers which we feel bear re
peating
Noting that Lieutenant Colonel
John Glenn had scrambled eggs prior
to his histone flight, Geil said, “Aside
from the fact that Col Glenn, like every
one else, likes eggs for breakfast, there’s
a more important reason for his eating
eggs ”
No one knew just what hardships
Col Glenn might encounter in orbit It
was important for him to start out with
a feeling of having eaten well, but not
feeling “heavy” because of too much
food bulk.
‘ Eggs fit beautifully into this pic
tuic,” Geil said
The protein in eggs is of top quali
ty and is applicable to every one of the
complex protein needs of the body The
vitamins in eggs contribute a significant
portion of the vitamin needs of the body
and the fat in egg yolk is so finely
emulsified that it is promptly utilized
Because of this energy-giving quality,
eggs “stick to the ribs” and create a
lasting feeling of satisfaction.
Yet the calories in eggs are low
and their bulk is so small that there is
rarely ever a stuffed feeling such as is
apt to follow a meal of bulkier food
There were several good reasons
for Col Glenn to eat a breakfast of eggs
before beginning his trip into the un
charted and unknown ocean of space.
The same good reasons apply to
each ol us every morning Each new
day lor each of us, while it may not be
as startling as was the journey of the
astionaut, is a sort of a count-down on
new activity and a good breakfast is
the best way to start a good day
At least that's how it looks from
where we stand
