As 2013 really starts to kick in business-wise, discussions have begun to arise about the price of food, especially beef.
In both the US and the UK, prices are fluctuating and there have been uncertainties in the quality and production time of certain types of beef. These are only small changes at the moment so it doesn’t affect consumers as much as it could. However, for those consumers who are concerned about the news, it is often difficult to find suitable beef. Many consumers will be asking themselves: is it safe to trust supermarkets?
Supermarket meat can sometimes be the cheapest available, but this is not necessarily a good thing. As uncertainties begin to arise, farmers will push production as much as they can, often feeding their cattle with grain to fatten them up quickly. This makes for lower quality meat; and with questions being raised about the contents of some products, many consumers are looking for alternative places to source trustworthy beef.
In today’s technological age, consumers can shop online for almost everything. From cars to carpets, the internet has it all. In terms of food, even supermarkets have online shops these days. However, for those who want trustworthy butcher’s meat delivered to their door instead of having to trust supermarkets, online butchers are the solution. Quality grass fed meats can be found online, providing maximum convenience and quality. As well as this, with the popularity of web-capable smart phones and tablets, purchases can be made from almost anywhere.
