it's the JAPANESE who have the LAW that beef be tested.
HAD THE LAW Sandhusker Didn't you read the post that started this thread?
The Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry revised a bylaw Friday to ease Japan's blanket testing of cows for mad cow disease starting Aug.1 ministry offical said.
They also revised the law to reflect the modern day science that proves testing under aged animals proves nothing. Just like the USDA revised the US laws to reflect the results that our precautionary measure we have in place has minimized the risk of BSE. But their are those in both countries that choose to ignor the science based results and demand their governments stand steadfast on the old science. :roll:
How the heck can we be deceiving them when IT WAS THEIR DANG IDEA?
Again the average consumer doesn't understand the test proves nothing in under aged animals and you would rather decieve the Japanese consumer by playing into their insecurities about the safety of beef just so you can sell to them instead of explaining the base for their government revising their rules. If the US consumers asked for it would you also decieve them? "testing them all" is a market tool and the preception of safe beef is what you are selling as that is all the
test provides is a preception.
You are demanding the government implement and pay for the M'COOL label to clear up the fraud R-CALF says the USDA has been perpetrating on the US consumers with their USDA INSPECTED label. If someone assumes the inspect label means US beef the only thing that does is maybe a small amount of consumers will be buying safe imported beef instead of buying US beef. No harm done except you aren't suppling that small amount of beef so the money isn't going into your pockets. Unlike the label you support that will perpetrating an even bigger fraud, by letting the consumer in Japan and the US assume BSE tested beef means BSE free. But that is OK as long as you sell beef and the money goes into your pocket right Sandhusker?
Again what happens to the part of the carcass that you test for Japan that Japan doesn't take, Will it not be labeled BSE tested and sold to the US consumers as BSE TESTED BEEF?
Warning to all Sandhusker is a business man that will sell you what ever you think you are buying even if it is not what you think it is. So read all labels and make sure he explains the true meaning of them before you sign on the bottom line. As you may get it home and find out you assumed wrong and it is to late for a refund. :x
