"Évoquez pour un instant les grandes plaines de l'ouest canadien. C'est là que commence ce récit filmé pour nous amener finalement à l'étal du boucher et nous faire réaliser que la viande que mangent les Canadiens est essentiellement saine, préparée avec soin pour en faire un aliment savoureux et fortifiant."
