You might have a hard time picturing 72,000 tons of beef. If that much beef were a cruise ship, it would be this:

I love to have a nice steak now and then. But given the FDA's rather cavalier attitude towards food safety, I'm thinking of giving up red meat.

I prefer bison or elk, if available.
They're kind of hard to find around these parts, but there are some farms that are experimenting with raising bison.
I like venison, but I gather that there is some kind of disease in them now that makes eating them questionable. It's been a long while since I last took to the woods with a rifle, so I've not been paying any attention to this.
If you want beef check your local producers, you can get organic or at least non-feed lot beef/pork/chicken from local farmers. (Our motto "Meet what you eat....")
They don't sell just a single steak you have to buy a half or whole cow (300-1000 lbs of meat) but if you get a bunch of friends together it's not a big deal. Also it's not like you get the cow in one chunk, it'll come just like store bought stuff in nice little packages.
