Political Favoritism in Beef Industry

From Huffington Post: “In a new twist on the role of government a federal appeals court has ruled that the government can force companies to NOT test beef for mad cow disease.”

Some smaller meat packers wanted to test every cow, to ensure that citizens are safe from mad cow disease. Large meat processors, fearing consumers would rather buy from companies that have a proven record of testing every pound of beef for it’s food safety value, paid Republicans to force the smaller companies to stop testing! Republican appointed judges, of course, are happy to bend over for them.

Once again, the Republican party has proven to Americans that big corporations care more about their bottom line finances than they do about American citizens and a competitive market.

This is hard cold proof, people. Are you still voting republican? Shame on you. Open your eyes and see what is going on here. There is not one good reason that these smaller companies should not be allowed to test every cow if they see fit.

The irony of this is that these same Republican judges who ruled in favor of the larger meat processor just may end up eating beef that has not been tested. Bon appetite!
