I did not know that U.S. beef was raised with hormones. I don’t really know what they are but that doesn’t sound good to me. I am willing to learn tho.
This morning I had a delicious rib eye. It was ungraded and reduced to half price but still not what I call cheap. I was not too worried about tenderness as it was well marbled but just to make sure, I used meat tenderizer.
It was nut tough but not really tender either. It sure did taste good tho.

Our US industry castrates all males. A growth implant simply replaces the hormones ( T2 and E) lost from the removal of the testicles. Circulating hormone levels are thousands of times lower than ingested birth control pills and are orders of magnitude lower than broccoli and other crucifer out veggies that are routinely consumed.
Many Europeans are full of themselves. I know because I was born in the US to a Dutch father and a German mother. I lived 25% of my life in Europe. The Europeans are “We know everything better and Americans have no culture.” know nothings. Above is a link from a French Soldier talking about working with the 101st Airborne in A-stan. Enjoy, it is a lovely read.
One of my favorite paragraphs (IOW, yippee for American food):
Heavily built, fed at the earliest age with Gatorade, proteins and creatine - they are all heads and shoulders taller than us and their muscles remind us of Rambo. Our frames are amusingly skinny to them - we are wimps, even the strongest of us - and because of that they often mistake us for Afghans.
