Christ. Way to go to ruin good cow.
The cow was ruined at the point that the cube steak was formed. The frying just made the death official.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
there is no way in hell I'd ever consume American beef.
Why?

Safer than UK beef these days, but I don't think you have to worry about that either.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
A few weeks ago SBS TV screened a Frontline episode about US beef production. All American beef cattle are raised in feed lots, where they eat nothing but corn--a food their stomachs were not created to process--and spend their entire lives standing or lying in faeces. After their accelerated fattening process gets them to a point where they're ready for slaughter, they're processed in a manner that is so fast-paced and volume-based, that health and safety controls are pretty much rendered pointless.
However, what really turned my stomach was the constant claim that American beef is "marbled" b/c "marbling" gives it the flavour Americans love so much. Ugh, no thanks, I'll stick to a nice lean Aussie steak.

Avoid Kobe beef at all costs then - it's NOTHING but marbling.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I love chicken fried steak. But what's even better is my mom's chicken-fried venison, with gravy and buttermilk biscuits. Best comfort food evah.
My grocery bill is higher than it has to because I try really hard to get, if not organic, at least free-range, vegetarian, antibiotic-free meat, eggs, and milk.

I can't go back to non-organic milk now, and regular eggs are gross too.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Not all, of course. Niman Ranch, for instance, is just one ranch that doesn't do it that way.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
Cows eat something besides corn, for protein. It used to be a meat and bone meal made of leftover cow, but they stopped that practice to guard against mad cow disease. Fish meal is going more to salmon farms these days, so I don't know what else they use. Maybe penguins.
