U.S. govt fights to keep firm from testing all slaughtered cattle for mad cow

i dont think you understand. the government is actually trying to stop a company from independently testing its own product.

aside from that, yu really cant tell how many people are infected with mad cow because it has a latency period of 10-20 years plus it might just be diagnosed as early onset alzheimers, which is on the rise.

that's why I said it reminds me of the genetic engineering labeling thing. Didn't the FDA complain about that and try to suppress it? Same thing with transfats, i think. I just don't see it as anything new, really. I'm not saying it's not stupid, though. I doubt the reason they are blocking it is on some type of ethical grounds, but to protect a few companies. So I don't see how my post is "Misunderstanding."
