This is what kills me about sheep though, they will just change their eating habits and not say a word.
The United States is a net food importing nation. We used to "feed the world". Now Lloyd Bensten leads a consortium of investors in Mexico. Cattle come from Pakistan into Argentina, into Mexico, into the US under NAFTA, and because it is butchered here it's called American beef. The meat packers (there are now only eight) have the political muscle to prevent domestic labeling. Tyson is moving operations to South America and going into aquaculture big time. Now because of ocean trawlers from other nations, we are regulating our own domestic private fishing fleet out of existence, all on "environmental" grounds.
As long as the food is still at Safeway there's nary a peep. The integrity of the product is seldom questioned. What guarantees that trans-shipment security? The US military. Can we really do that fighting a global battle? If there is a domestic crisis, where will you run? Are you expecting a farmer or rancher to be there? No one askes these questions, yet isn't domestic production capacity a part of civil defense?
I'm worried for our nation, and it isn't some paranoid fantasy to suggest that there are many who do mean us ill. So why aren't we addressing these questions?
