Agriculture Department to Fight Ruling on Mad-Cow Testing


The Bush administration said it will fight a ruling allowing meatpackers to test their animals for mad-cow disease. The Agriculture Department tests fewer than 1% of slaughtered cows for the disease. Kansas-based Creekstone Farms Premium Beef wants to test all of its cows. A federal judge ruled in March that such tests must be allowed. The Agriculture Department argues that widespread testing could lead to a false positive. Larger meat companies say if Creekstone tests its meat and advertises it as safe, they might be expected to perform the expensive test, too.
 
I wonder why health care costs are skyrocketing? I know that we are not forced to eat beef, but we should be able to have the peace of mind to know that we are not ingesting meat with KJD.
 
Organic baby, Organic. It costs a lot more ,but it doesn't cause malformed prions to replicate your DNA into a mutant hybrid forms.
I think its worth the trade!
