[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1478648, member: 4362"] What we ought to do is form a group that promotes American Beef and we all can chip in $2 for every animal we sell. Since each calf will flip ownership about three times before slaughter and we can make this mandatory this would mean $6 for every head sold in the country and this would generate around $590,000,000 each year and we can use this money to promote beef and all our problems will be solved because we will have informed the consumer and they will only want to buy American beef no matter the cost. Shoot, we already tried that didn't we? Maybe we need to allow on farm butchering and drop some of the silly regulations that will make it affordable for small processors to set up shops on the farm. Not only would this create almost total transparency for the consumer it would also be a wonderful thing for national security by decentralizing our food chain. It would also create local skilled jobs. Producers would also benefit thru the realization of more profit. Environment would benefit because of reduced transportation costs and less dependence on fossil fuels. Of course They wouldn't like this because They would have less control over Us and they would surely scream food safety yet its funny how in other nations who have stricter regulations than we do and who require EID tags allow someone to process a deer at their home and carry it to a store to be sold then the store turn around and sell it to the public. But I guess,WE don't have enough sense to process an animal without THEM. [/QUOTE]
