[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 159093, member: 97"] Well frenchie you should be happy to know that NCBA is still taking orders from the multinational packers and blindly backing the USDA and FDA... And I don't think MacDonalds profits in Canada has much of an impact on them in their world situation :roll: .... ---------------------------------------- McDonald's wants more BSE protection Friday, January 6, 2006, 11:39 AM by Josh St. Peters The Food and Drug Administration has proposed new rules to strengthen the ruminant-to-ruminant feed ban. Cattle group R-CALF USA had previously said the proposed rules do not go far enough, and now those sentiments are being echoed by researchers and corporate leaders with the McDonald's restaurant chain. Seven scientists and specialists from McDonald's and a pharmaceutical supplier have all submitted comments saying that FDA falls short with their feed rules as they pertain to the cattle disease. The experts say FDA fails to fully protect animals and people from BSE infections. The main complaint is that FDA's proposed feed ban rules fail to keep cattle from eating potentially infected feed. McDonald's says the government should take stronger steps to reduce the risk of exposure to the disease. The nation's top burger seller says the risk of exposure should be cut to zero. [b]Gary Weber with the National Cattlemen's Beef Association says the current feed ban is capable of eradicating BSE in the U.S. He says NCBA respects the opinions of McDonald's and others, but points out that FDA is bound by law to make science-based decisions, not decisions based on politics and pressure.[/b] The NAFB News Service contributed to this report.
