At the Elanco Beef Consultants Forum this month I had the chance to interview Dr. Daryl Tatum, a meat scientist from Colorado State University. We had a chance to chat about some of the issues with the gap between consumers and producers with meat quality and production.

Dr. Tatum was very clear that the use of growth technologies is not a food safety issue at all. I really found Dr. Tatum very interesting and informative in regards to meat quality. We also shared some great conversation about college football and his CSU Rams.
