Here's one for you.
Try a blind taste test on your friend.
A rack of frozen ribs and a rack of unfrozen. Same brands.
cook them exactly the same way and see if there is a difference?
To many, it's all very valid data, but in the end do YOU see a diffeerence. Does freezing cause damage? Technically, yes.
Do you TASTE a difference? I doubt it.
FYI, a lot of the meat in Sam's and other places was frozen to begin with, they don't tell you it was. So you're not always buying fresh.
