[QUOTE="CattleMan1920, post: 1551032, member: 37967"] Lawmakers, for the most part, will not support COOL (Country of Origin Labeling). The demand for cheap meat is strong, and the profit motive is even stronger for those who import it. I personally like to know where my food comes from but many people could care less and the corporations know this and use it to their advantage. Check your representative's record for voting on COOL and you will be surprised just how much he or she truly supported the local beef producer. Also, if you picked up a package of hamburger at the grocery, would you rather see "product of U.S.A. and raised and processed in U.S.A." or would you rather see "Product of Brazil, Mexico, India, or not really sure where it was all raised, but it was PROCESSED in the good ole U.S. of A." I prefer the first one, and it's far better for the U.S. beef producer in my opinion. I'm not being a protectionist, but I think that the U.S. has a very good beef industry and should draw on it, versus cheap inferior imports with little to no controls in place. [/QUOTE]
