So McD/BK/Taco Bell and processor pack chubs of ground beef (yes that's an actual term - means generic brand in the plastic tubes) will get cheaper and stay as tasteless; as long as there's still small ranches selling proper grass-fed beef to processors who know how to handle and age it, I literally could not care less what they're doing to commodity beef.
