Canelo turned in purchase information of where meat was bought

[Beercules]

Like I'm going to believe Canelo shopped at Mexican Puppet's Discount Meat Emporium next to a large pharmaceutical company such that the cows flew over the fence (like in the chik Fil A commercial) and accidentally ingested clen.

hahaha.

Canelo- be bolder. Eat Mor Chikin!

how does this prove anything? Im not some expert on the meat industry, but unless its one big mother****ing cow, wouldnt most pieces of meat from the supermark be from different animal? i dont really understand how they can prove the meat that canelo ate, did or did not have clen in it.

I agree. This is more difficult then the usual situation where someone buys a tainted supplement. You just gotta find a matching batch number & if that comes up dirty to you are cool.

With meat my assumption would be you'd need to either find out who they purchased the meat from that day & test their cattle or find someone who threw some meat in the freezer they bought from that same person & test their frozen steak.

The former seems much easier than the latter so that should probably work to clear him if he's clearable for this. With the time table involved seems a bit much to ask doe.

I highly doubt a cattle guy is only shooting up one of his livestock with clenny.

which taco stand got paid off?? LOL!!!

The people who work for him and buy the food.... lol. You guys act like you've lived in your mom's house all your life... oh... wait. Nevermind. It all makes sense now...

My point is, from the time he tested positive to the time he ate the meat it seems odd that a millionaire is saving a receipt from a grocery store, specifically meat. As if he expected to get a knock on the door some day that he would have to answer for a positive test result, oh and how convenient, I have my receipt for the tainted meat I bought at MEMO's Meat Market, here you go.

It doesn't say it directly, but this article seems to suggest some type of correlation.

Outside of a cluster of states in central Mexico, it appears unlikely that foreign tourists would feel ill effects from eating beef. Most major supermarkets and restaurant chains buy their beef from 117 large private slaughterhouses with on-site federal inspectors who conduct rigorous testing of meat for contamination. Northern Mexico and coastal resorts also appear free from the taint.

But that inspection regimen falls apart in a half-dozen Mexican states surrounding the capital, where cattlemen often sell their beef to smaller slaughterhouses operated by municipalities. That beef generally turns up at street markets, where poorer Mexican consumers shop, then goes to sidewalk taco stands, mom-and-pop restaurants and into Mexican homes.

Good article.

And yea they do seem to go into it even better towards the end.

Like the United States, Mexico has a two-tiered system of slaughterhouses, one tier geared partially toward higher-end consumers and for export. All beef for export comes from these slaughterhouses, where inspectors are always on site to conduct random tests for 120 or so possible contaminants. Large supermarket chains in Mexico like Wal-Mart, Soriana, La Mega and Chedraui buy meat only from these slaughterhouses and display a tag on packages to assure food safety.

It is the municipal slaughterhouses where the problems fester, and they run the gamut in facilities, safety procedures and controls over toxic substances, Fragoso said.

Article is 4yrs old doe. Wonder if anything has changed.

He has a personal chef who buys the food and saves the receipts because that's what you do when you are a personal chef. He may make it sound like he's more involved (to avoid complications) but I don't see how anyone thinks this dude, who travels with armed staff in a military vehicle with bullet proof glass, is taking causal trips to the store.

Who saves their grocery receipts for that long? As if you couldn't rig the outcome of the investigation by paying off a supermarket to hand over some tainted meat to an investigator. More posturing to clear his name. Dude is a cheat.

I do, I kinda have to, for tax purposes, my CPA tells me all restaurants, gas stations,etc,etc receipts must be saved, but yeah, they have so much money that the cow, butcher,cashier,bag person, and security from "Soriana"(mexican market) will testify they are at fault.

You brought up a good question, one I had myself but was too lazy to search. Unless things have changed, that article is pretty damning. You can go to Wal-Mart or La Mega and get good meat, but Canelo went to Mexican Puppet's Meat Emporium instead...

[Hewito]

But what I'm asking is there any PROOF that Mexican Whole Foods isn't selling clenny meat too?

I've not seen anyone legit suggest this is simply a good meat/bad meat thing although that seems to be the stance fans are taking. Maybe that is the case idk, I've just seen no mention of it in any of these Mexican clen meat articles I've read.

What I believe panda, is that people,myself included ,is that mexico is known for the tainted meat, so why even risk it, they have beef cuts from argentina,france,u.s and other countries, that I do know for a fact,I am not only mexican but go quite often, and they are places that only specialize on those kind of cuts, now, if canelo felt like eating some tacos,those places dont sell them, but they do sell the raw cuts, and I am sure Canelo has cooks at hand.
