[QUOTE="bull56, post: 573123, member: 3329"] Heard today that even though we as US Beef Producers have to keep record etc. for our cattle to prove that they were born, fed and processed here in the USA, packers have decided to take the easy way out and will be labelling all meat as a product of the USA, Canada & Mexico. It seems to me that this is a slap in the face to us as beef producers. People that I have spoke with want to know where their meat comes from. But it seems that the packers are trying to play God and they say that consumers don't care where their meat comes from. The USA has already sold out, and many of our products are imported, consumers are getting tired of it. Look at all the toy recalls during last Christmas, the pet food poisening because of foreign fillers, the recent salmonila problem that was thought to be from tomatoes and turned out it was from jalopenos from Mexico. The packers seem to think we are a bunch of dumb consumers and we will buy the meat or else. What's everyone elses thoughts. [/QUOTE]
