[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 124334, member: 97"] [b]Too bad NCBA sold out to the Big Packers and Feeders that want unlimited access to imported meat and the ability to continue the fraud of passing it off to consumers as a US product by sticking the USDA stamp on it... This is from a 2000 FSIS report- back before NCBA sold out the US cattle industry to the international beef industry......[/b] National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA) NCBA has announced publicly some of the findings of a national consumer poll conducted in November 1998 by Wirthlin Worldwide which showed that consumers overwhelmingly support the concept of putting country of origin labels on fresh meat in the supermarket. According to NCBA, a follow-up poll in March 1999 found statistically identical results for consumer support of putting country of origin labels on fresh meat in the supermarket. According to NCBA, in the March 1999 poll, 86 percent of consumers agreed with a statement that the United States should require labels on meat that show country of origin. According to NCBA, 24 percent agreed with the statement that country of origin labels were unnecessary. Faced with a choice between beef with labels stating "Product of the United States" and "Imported Product," NCBA has said that the poll results show that 91 percent of consumers said they would choose the "Product of the United States," 1 percent would choose the "Imported Product," and 6 percent said it did not matter. Of those who would choose United States beef, 69 percent said they would do so because they prefer "to buy American," "loyalty to the United States," "to support United States businesses," and "to support our farmers." Another 13 percent thought United States beef would be safer and 9 percent felt it would be of higher quality. The NCBA also tracks the economics of the cattle market. In part, the economics of the domestic cattle farming and ranching situation has created a climate where country of origin labeling is viewed as part of the solution for correcting low prices for cattle ranchers and for creating stronger markets for United States cattle. The NCBA is part of a larger coalition of stakeholders who view country of origin labeling as an important tool for building a stronger market for American farmers and ranchers. [/QUOTE]
