So local feed store had an open house yesterday. They had a speaker during lunch talk about the new feed directives in using antibiodics in feed. Bovatec & Rumension are exempt, which I was glad to see. One person there asked if imported beef had to comply with the new rules. The speaker said no, of course. What a suprise!

So the consumer is concerned about antibiodic resistance comming from what they eat, which is a crock of crap. It comes from running to the doctor for the sniffles and using puril too much. Yet the consumer asks for it. Yet half or more of the meat in the case at the supermarket (imported) doesn't have to comply with these regulations! What an awesome law, not.

I realize C.O.O.L. is a hot button issue. Personally I feel if we know where our underware is made, by Gawd we should know where our food comes from. I can understand if there is no consumer demand for buying a labeled product the regulations are annoying. Thing is here is a prime example as to why COOL has a place.
Oh how I love government stupidity and buricoracy!
