As opposed to R-CALF standing in front of the US consumer stating that "USDA does not care about food safety" and "USDA has not gone far enough to assure the safety of our beef" and taking the position, IN A COURT OF LAW, that having BSE in your native herd means your beef is "contaminated" and "high risk".

How could anyone do a better job of destroying consumer confidence in beef than R-CALF?  Good thing the media didn't see R-CALF as a credible source of information on bse or they would have taken this industry right into the tank.

Nobody that I know supports lying to, deceiving, and defrauding consumers other than R-CALFers who said "consumers should have the right to know where their beef comes from" then follows that empty statement up with "don't burden me with traceback" which is what is required to enforce this flawed labeling law.

"USDA INSPECTED" does not mean "US BEEF".  It never has and it never will.  This empty argument of yours regarding "so called" consumer deception is as empty as most of your positions.  As if USDA stamps their beef as "USDA INSPECTED" to imply "US BEEF".  Absolutely ridiculous!

You were the ones who shot Country of Origin labeling in the foot when you didn't want the traceback system to prove it.  Hypocrite!
