LOL Exactly! I made my feelings known at the store in question. I even
told the manager that if they couldn't be truthful about this packaging,
how could I trust them to be honest about other things. He said that he
would talk to the people doing the packaging and labeling in the meat
department.

Actually, with todays beef, it's probably hard to find some that doesn't
have Angus in the bloodline somewhere. The key is "Certified Angus Beef"
and Angus certainly has no place in pork (yet)<eg>.
