I went to school for like ag and food shit, so I learned the grading system. the real terms are more dystopian, because of course the the optics of anything that doesn't look amazing would be bad for industry.

so, I invite you all to see the beef quality grades in the US from highest to lowest:

prime
choice
select
(if you're at a grocery store and you're buying beef as an ingredient to take home and prepare food, it is one of the ones above this line... below this point is entering the Dark Territory)
standard
commercial
utility
cutter
canner

Luanne: What's a "food product"?

Peggy: Well, it's something you can eat that's like food
