I totally don't believe this!! Guess I've been away too long.......do they put these instructions on the raw meat that you buy? 'You can only purchase it, if you cook it ACCORDING TO THESE DIRECTIONS!!!!" Or we will come after you...........
Thankfully they aren't to THAT point yet!!! Actually, wait, let me look at the roast I have in the fridge....
Sure enough - they got the packaged meat too!!
Label on my roast:
