fedup, You are exactly correct and that is my point. If the USDA is controlled by the NCBA and it was taken over by the packers who own these substitutes, how in the world is there going to be any research/advertisement on the fact that beef is not the boogy man? Tysons essentially has a veto on any real advertisements that allow beef to compete against chicken. Swift on pigs.

The USDA has got to be purged from the packer interests. Period. Any checkoff dollars until that is done are going to be wasted.

What do you think?
