Post subject: US Farmers fight to open border
Representatives from the American Farm Bureau say that the judge who granted R-CALF the injunction to keep Canadian cattle out of the US was wrong. They have submitted a brief to that supports the USDA's opinion that the border between Canada and the US should be ope to beef.

It is about time that someone down there started thinking about something more than money and started fighting the truth. From a scientific standpoint the border should of been open long ago, but politically, in the US it would be better for the border never to be open. Finially, one for the Good Guys.

Yeah I am sure there isnt ANY BSE in the USA. I highly doubt some reports get published.

I think canadians should be buying more of our own beef and give a big fuck you to the USA. REALLY NOW there is 30 million of us, and damn it we have enough farmers we should be supporting them and not relying on the bastards below the 49th

Best reason yet.
How do you know where your beef comes from if you go to the store? If I asked the butcher would they know?

BSE is just one of many problems. Also lobbying groups representing food industry (in US) are so influential. FDA is not doing what it's supposed to be doing, etc. etc. The whole situation related to this is becoming more like corruption at large.

I was using scarcasm. Yeah the FDA is basically propping up US beef and trying to keep us down literally

Many regulatory agencies hire people from industries. They are expecting that self regulation is functional. I think this premise is incorrect, and this is just one of gazillion problems that regulatory agencies like FDA have.

Self regulation can work, but there are too many interferences, and political pressure in most cases. Look at the Engineering Profession in Canada for example. It is completely self-regualted. The Schools are all up to the standards and are assessed regularly by the CCPE and CEAB.
