Back in the day, our glorious Secretary of Agriculture, Earl Butz (note
the "butt" reference) said there was no problem with meat. Sure enough,
after some checking, there wasn't! He paid top dollar at exclusive
butcher shops for the kind of meat that ordinary people could never
afford on a regular basis.

This cite does not support my statement, but gives background:

Speaking of butts:

"Butz said that "the only thing the coloreds are looking for in life are
tight p - - - - , loose shoes and a warm place to s - - -."

Butz is considered responsible for the monoculture of corn in the US.
He heavily promoted the destruction of family farming:

His mantra to farmers was "get big or get out,"
