USDA Tries to Prevent Health Inspections of Meat

(Image is in the Public Domain)

What is the point of a federal regulatory agency that won't do it's job?

The issue landed in court after Creekstone Farms offended the USDA by constructing a state of the art facility to test for mad cow. The USDA fears that testing will reveal too many 'false positives,' scaring the hell out of consumers and threatening the financial health of the nation's meat industry.

Since when was the regulatory agency in the business of social control rather than industry regulation?

They must be taking pointers from the FDA and the FTC.

What is the point of an agency that thinks it's ok to label non-organic foods as organic?

USDA's rule, in contrast, permitted products labeled "organic" to contain non-organic substances so long as producers obtained certification that organic versions of the relevant ingredients were not available. Why should it matter whether substances are on the list?

My thoughts exactly.
