To me Andybob its more usurption of states rights- and a move by the big corporate interests to get more control...It will ban the COOL, additional food safety, and truth in labeling laws some states have passed (many times at the direct vote of the people)- put more food/beef/meat control in the hands of the USDA, while at the same time the USDA has been cutting funding and enforcement of many of these same programs...
It was introduced and is being heavily lobbied for by the Major Packers because it will then give them only one organization to have to lobby (USDA) which in my belief they already have in their pockets- and they won't have to worry about the Legislatures of the state or the people/voters of these states...
Anytime you take more power from the counties and the states and give it to the Federal Bureaucracy you are taking more freedom/control out of the hands of the people.....
