[QUOTE="Texan, post: 87689, member: 416"] But you bought them anyway, sounds like. Clearly labeled as to product and country of origin. Yes, look at them. Read the labels. Just look at all of them. Clearly labeled as to country of origin. Yet, the shelves are full of them. Often to the [i]exclusion[/i] of American competitors. The shelves are full of them because the American consumer is buying them anyway. Because it's all about price to the consumer. In spite of what they say in the same old tired surveys that R-CALF and other M-COOL proponents alway quote. It's all about price. With many of these products, you can no longer find a domestically produced competitor. [i]Because they are no longer in business![/i] Maybe that's the vision some of you have for domestic cattle producers? Now, once again---read all of the labels that are already on meat products [i]voluntarily[/i]. Then tell me how a [i]Mandatory[/i]-COOL that excludes food service and about half of the beef supply is going to benefit us. How? [/QUOTE]
