[QUOTE="OK Jeanne, post: 361192, member: 3333"] Surely you jest Jeanne. She didn't say you shouldn't be able to market your cattle as natural. She said it's a bunch of hogwash to imply that "natural or organic" is safer beef. There's no proof that I'm aware of of any sort. Some of the natrual folks still feed chicken litter and it's considered "natrual" . I'll take implanted, grainfed, beef anyday. JMHO. ------------------------------ Well, that was not the point of my comment. If a car company advertises that they have side-impact air bags and "X, Z, Z" car companies don't have them.... is that "hogwash", ie. lying to the public in order to imply that their product is safer than the other autos???? There is a legal concept called "puffing" regarding advertising.. as I understand it, you can promote your product by making truthful statements(i.e. this beef has never had any antibiotics nor steroids), but you can't say things like "this beef enhances your ability to resist cancer because it is grass fed and has a higher level of CLA than commodity beef". (see: [url=http://www.eatwild.com]http://www.eatwild.com[/url]). You can eat grain-fed, implanted beef all day long---but I should be able to differentiate my product from yours without governmental interference...that is until we truly live under a "jack-booted" facscist, corporatist government from which any deviation from the corporate welfare will not be tolerated. Again,JMO. [/QUOTE]
