WB brought up this additive in a different thread. I'm curious about everyone's opinion. It appears that using this additive has hurt US beef demand around the world. There is evidence that the use of ractopamine can show up in negative effects in consumers, and evidence to the contrary. Clearly we produce enough beef without the additive.

If cattlemen can tax beef transactions to promote beef demand (as in the check off), should cattlemen be able to abolish drugs or additives that adversely effect demand. Sound science is the word of the day, and market science is science as much as biology.
