A BEEF about Big Mac

[riders2010]

I agree on one point the surveilance is not that good, but even if it was pumping animals full of growth stimulants is considered ok by our regulators not me. However I maybe am just a HOMER but I see the way my neighbors raise their livestock and I trust what they tell me is in the rations. However after it leaves their yard to the feedlots who knows. But who the hell knows what other countries' standards are, and our inspectors appear to inspect the foreign stuff even less. So I'll stick to supporting the Canadian producer.

Three comments from Ruken:
1) This is the 3rd time I have seen this McDonalds thing pass through the email world over the past 2 years. Hoax. Nothing more.

2) Canada has kept within the first level import quotas to comply with WTO requirements but has not used the supplementary quota option since they were closed off after the BSE wreck. This was due in part from ABP speaking for us. They continue to hold that position and monitor through ACC in Ottawa.

3) I've been told from a semi-credible source that McDonalds gets their beef shipped in from Quebec because it is cheaper. The dairy industry in Quebec is quite stable so their contracts for supply are guite sure.

Nice day all!
