In a free society we have as little government as possible. The government should ensure food is safe from pathogens and toxic chemicals. Animal rights however is a religion. Let the market place dictate religiously based food production, not the government.
Free Republic is for those who believe in freedom from government and freedom of government, that is what i believe.
“It is alleged that China force feeds swine waste water to increase market weight is that acceptable for you. ?”
I don't eat anything from China, as I assume the food would be contaminated. This thread was about a bill that passed in California, not China
Imagine that China has no FDA. So you have no problem with me force feeding waste-water to my livestock or how about re-feeding cattle manure as food for Swine. You okay with me selling this pork to the slaughter house.
The Government(FDA) prevents me from doing this as a health concern. If this was about animal rights we could only be vegetarians.
