#180017 - 04/12/09 10:57 AM Mad Cow Disease in the U.S. - let's say NO!
gims Member Registered: 01/16/07 Posts: 3404 Loc: USA	Quote: Guess what? It happened. Just as predicted. FDA does not care about human health. Their mission is to obey milk and meat producers. FDA has once again learned the power of Washington lobbyists. On Friday, April 10, 2009, FDA announced a two month delay in the implementation of the 2008 BSE rule which would have banned feeding cow brains and spines from potentially infected animals back to livestock as feed. Outrageous? Yes! The FDA is giving you an extremely tiny window of opportunity to comment on their insanity. You must do so by Thursday, April 16, 2009. Post an Internet comment at FDA's website: FDA WEBSITE At the very top of the page you will be instructed to: SEARCH DOCUMENTS. Type in: 2002N–0273 and post your comment. Robert Cohen AS you know, April 16th is next week... Post comment on FDA site AND pass this along, please!!! Our children's lives are at stake.

Every little while you hear about recalls of one kind a edible or another, i.e.: peanut butter; peanuts; beef; crackers; etc. The nasty items found at that peanut factory would turn stomachs, merely thinking about them, say nothing of ingesting 'em. Gosh. Do your job; will you people? _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

They do a job allowing things through from the people who pay them the most money I believe the going rate is now $200,000. _________________________ Take a peek at my BLOG: http://charleen-micheles.blogspot.com/

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	Now why would the FDA allow healthy animals to be fed tainted products? That's nuts! _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

And the stuff he told me back in the 1970s made my hair curl. You are so right about our very crooked government. The only silver lining is that no atter how corrupt things are, we still have a better "checking system" than almost every other country on earth. In many places you buy at the market and you take your chances. Period. At least we have SOME inspectors who give a damn and cannot be bought. _________________________ Josie
