[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1628857, member: 24565"] We are not fiddling. There is established trade of cattle across borders. Live cattle. Our state Vet gave several presentations of steers and spaded heifers and the huge movement from Mexico, using armed guards and fairly elaborate staged efforts on both sides, to move the cattle and then load and ship them to US locations to graze or finish. I'm sure the same happens in other places too. I did not realize the size and number involved until I saw the pictures. You might like to think oranges were a product of Canada but you would be as deceived as the current laws allow. You could be honest and say "processed in Canada". I do not see why it is so hard for people to have simple phrases and to make them truthful. Oddly, we have a small grocery store in town that has beef in two sections of the cool case. One has a big sign over the top, "Product of Mexico". It is some cheaper. And I know how they can truthfully say that because they buy from a packer in the region that hauls in cattle from Mexico. Honesty, the best policy. But not the most electable. [/QUOTE]
