I defy anyone to submit proof that steaks from purebred Angus would be any more flavorful, nutritious, or enjoyable than the current CAB steaks. If the same then how can there be damages??? IF there are no damages and Angus does make a goof faith effort to restrict non-qualifying carcasses from the program you don't have a case.
Goof? was that a slip on words?
I was tounge in cheek talking about the lawsuit, but I don't think having a standard that states cattle must be 51% black is a good faith attempt of keeping angus influence.
When the first U.S. case of mad cow was found in WA., as I have stated a couple of times on these boards, the 6 yr old downer holstien cow made it to our local grocery store meat shelves as hamburger patties. When I purchase Certified Angus Beef, my minimal expectation by the label, is it to be Angus beef, not anything else. It hasn't happened yet, but I could see some liberal judge finding damages for misleading the consumer.
