Exactly Ingrid! The US Cattlemens Assoc spends millions lobbying for what
will be most profitable for the big 3 packers that control the industry.
They couldn't give a rat's ass for the actual rancher or what ends up on
your plate. I have noticed though that they have been unusually quiet
through all this though...

it is all "bottom line". they arent allowed to feed recycled meat
byproducts to
animals going into the human food chain, but they lobbied to allow
"downers" or lame
cattle into the human food chain.... and that is where this problem
started.

They
have planted themselves firmly in the pockets of the big 3 packers that
control everything....
