[QUOTE="ga. prime, post: 442962, member: 588"] I don't have a list but I believe the money is being put to good use. $1/head is not going to break anybody. I think the primary uses of the checkoff money are to keep beef on the USDA food pyramid and in school lunch programs and other USDA food programs. Also for beef advertising campaigns on tv, radio, and print media. And to lobby national restaurant chains to have beef specials on their menus. And to send out positive press reports regarding beef in the event of food scares. PETA has more money than the Beef Board and their stated objective is for eveyrones diet to consist of nothing but bread and potatoes. PETA sure isn't shy about spending money lobbying the USDA toward their objective. Or spending money on media advertising featuring Hollywood "stars". They have one out now with Alicia Silverstone buck naked. I don't think $1/head is wasted money, and is in fact very well spent money. I just hope $1/head is enough. [/QUOTE]
