Let the Meatpackers Rule

I see the Meat Packing industry is going to change the rules on <a href="http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/living/health/13183092.htm">importing cattle from Canada</a>.<br />n<br />n<blockquote>A prohibition has remained on Canadian animals older than 30 months; levels of infection from mad cow disease are thought to increase with age. Industry officials</blockquote><br />n<br />nBuzz words for the Meat packing Industry<br />n<br />n<blockquote>argue that rules for how cattle are slaughtered would keep the disease from ever entering the human or animal food supply.<br />n<br />nThe department said it is writing a rule that would lift remaining restrictions on Canadian cattle. Ron DeHaven, administrator of the department's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, said the rule will be proposed in six to eight months.</blockquote><br />n<br />n[sarcasm]Who cares about the safety and health of American citezens.
