COOL Delayed

Well it appears that the safety of the American public is being sacrificed on the alter of political expediency. The purpose of Country Of Origin Labeling (COOL) was to help the American cattle producers sell there product in the U.S. but after the BSE scare in Canada the food safety issue of COOL was shown to be an issue also. I have talked about this before but I will say it again. I do not understand how the meat packers say it is going to cost so much money. In my opinion if there is a will there is a way.

Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy. Ernest Benn
