I work in a grocery store currently, and found that our beef does come from Washington! Yay! At my work we are anticipating that although the Atkins craze will continue, people will switch more to chicken and pork, causing the prices ot them to rise, while beef should fall. This is just the speculation in the business here though.

I personally enjoyed some nice juicy burgers last night made from beef bought at my store. Yum! I highly doubt it will change how much beef I eat in the long run.
