Once again, you boys who are so pleased with anything you deem detrimental to NCBA jumped the gun. You forgot to check the FACTS, those pesky details that make all the difference in the credibility of a story.
Surely you understand that sometimes 'journalists' just don't get it right!
Granted, it better fits your agenda when an NCBA leader is taken out of context and/or misquoted, or headlined incorrectly. The reporter wrongly interpreted Mike Johns remarks at a pre-conferencer press briefing.
Mike John NEVER said the United States cattle/beef industry would not compete in any country! He made it clear that we WILL compete, and that he believes the USA has the best beef in the world, with a distinct advantage on taste and tenderness.
The mis-interpreted comments were about the challenge we share with every other beef-producing nation, that of mainttaining consumer confidence and demand for beef and doing so based on sound science. Beyond that challenge, we WILL be competitors.
The meeting where Mike John was mis-quoted was a conference of five nations working together for an increase in global beef consumption. The participants recognized thatt collaboration is essential for growing the global demand for beef by eliminating non-scientific and political trade restrictions and for maintaining strong demand for beef against the comptetition of poultry, pork, and seafood.
He definitely WAS and IS working for the best interests of cattle producers in the USA.
