I don't think it's the end of the story. The local comments on the story that I found seem to indicate it's not. Hopefully more will come out.

And there are other links on FR.

While Navy Seabee Is Fighting in Iraq, His Family Under Attack by Food Regulators in U.S.

Btw, why has the government the right to approve our food?

They don’t have the “right”, but they THINK they have they have the POWER!

I looked, and it’s more of the same emotional, quasi-hysterical “reporting” that is being scooped from internet blogs and “chat rooms”.

Sorry, it’s only sharpening my opinion that a lot of folks are being conned and taken for fools.... by the alleged victims and their champions.

>>>>>>Btw, why has the government the right to approve our food?<<<<<<

Well, back in 1910 to 1920 it was discovered that meatpacking houses and meat processors were selling rotten, disgusting, contaminated and infected meat products to the American public, and from that experience whoever it was that was U.S. President at the time decided to send food inspectors to Chicago. What they found was shocking and presaged the FDA and other food inspection bodies and regimes.

So now we can eat bologna, hot dogs, Spam, and Jimmy Dean sausage and not worry that we’re eating ground rat products.

Presumably these laws will also allow us to eat inspected and disease/contaminant-free organic lamb and beef products from the Manna coop, if they will submit to the same inspections as *every other food outlet in America*.

But I’d still avoid anything from Tyson.
