I don’t want to buy meat from Nigeria.

They should at least have to label whether it is animal or human.

As in “Country of Origin”, or “Animal of Origin”?

Or both?

Regardless. America got some green onions from messyco that killed some restaurant patrons. Seems the messycans like to throw human feces on their food.

Can't imagine what their beef is fed. Green onions?

Our meat comes from the clover patch in the back field (venison)!

I sure appreciate the “country of origin” labels, particularly on seafood.

“China” ==> Do Not Purchase.

Flesh: The police raided the restaurant to discover human heads, with blood still dripping into plastic bags (file photo of beef steak)

Glad they cleared that up..........

I’m sure some brands will thrive on the marketability of USA raised beef. The only problem is people using the USA raised beef and lying about it. The FTC will have no impetus to guarantee the labeling because they gave it away in the name of WTO and globalization.

Avoid buying anything that you don’t really need. Save for items that can be used for self-sufficiency.

Frequently, make plans and do work to become more self-sufficient, especially with home energy.

Study and practice to manufacture a necessity as a hobby for now.

Have fun. Enjoy the slide.

Sounds like Vilsack thinks the folks will be happy to buy “mystery meat?” And if vegetables are marked why wouldn’t meat be marked? Canned meat might be one thing but graded fresh meat is a whole nother “animal.” And BTW Vilsack: where the bleep do you get the idea that food of any sort should not display its source? If the Mex/Cans aren’t competing well then maybe they ought to step up their quality?
