Alaska just became subject to meat recall

[Bandit]

No link as I just heard it on the radio but Alaska has just been placed on list for meat recall. I am a food wholesaler and this will effect me drastically. Is anything going to ever be safe in this country again. Bush* has managed to poison our entire nation one way or another. How can people possibly think things are going well? :shrug: I just don't get it. Brainwashing really works well.

1. Every day it seems like they are adding states.

It started off with WA and now we're up to... what? 6? 7? 8?

2. Bush may be a "putz" but.......

......come on!! You really can't blame him for Mad Cow. You make us progressives sound like bozos when you make stupid statements like that. If he had control of THAT he'd be targeting Democratic states. Get real!!

[Bandit]

3. You are saying the government has no control over disease??

:shrug: whatever.

4. "US"

???

5. It is the government's responsiblity to inspect and test for such things

If the government falls down on the job we as consumers suffer. That is why we have a USDA and Health inspecters. I'm sure we are going to hear how all this could have been prevented if the government (Bush*) had done their job. The same is true for 9-11. It was preventable and the government (Bush*) didn't do their job.

7. The lateness of the diagnosis caused more problems than if the tests

had been done promptly. That is definately Bush's fault.

U.S. agriculture officials said yesterday that meat from a dairy cow afflicted with mad cow disease may be in Hawai'i.

Although federal officials maintain the food supply is safe, Hawai'i is now part of a recall of an estimated 10,000 pounds of meat.

All local recall efforts are being coordinated by the USDA and its regional office, Hawai'i officials said. The state departments of agriculture and health have offered to help the USDA track down any recalled beef that may have made its way to Hawai'i.

It is not known which local retailers have been affected.

In a recall, compliance inspectors from the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service will go to retail establishments suspected of receiving tainted meat and place a hold on the meat until it can be discarded.

8. Can you say Elmendorf AFB, Ft. Richardson, Ft. Greeley

and all our other military bases' messes and commissaries who get their meat from government contractors?This is BIIIIIG.

But this does take the heat off "9/11 could have been prevented" and "no terrorists found although Air France targeted."

9. I agree, it is "Really Big"

but it may take some weeks or months for the public to grasp how big it really is. Everything changes now. Things begin to move much faster.

We are equal to the challenge.
