Damn activist judges!

The reason for this is mad cow is significantly prevelant in the food supply than the govt lets us know.

Protect the public and affect the profit margin of beef producers.............not going to happen.

Eat up!!!

january cannot get here fast enough.

Wow freedom and liberty for all.

All your foods are belong to us.

The Bush administration continues its 19th century concern for the people!

The government wouldn't want one rancher testing and proving his food security. That would be bad. It might set a precedent. Other producers might then have to offer similar proof. They'd have to check and see whether the grain fed cow madness had caused other problems as well. And then we'd see just what chaos we've wrought.

Ignorance, for BushCo, is bliss. Yours, that is.

Regulation is a revolving door between industry and Government intimately intertwined with money.

A new chicken farm buyer was going broke and couldn't figure out why. Then the Agriculture Department downgraded his chickens from Grade A to Grade B, seemingly dooming the business.

Further investigation revealed that the chicken skins were too wrinkled, earning a Grade B. The solution? Soak the dead chickens in water barrels causing them to absorb water, stretch their skin and turn the Farms profitability around by increasing their weight.

Its the water.

Another example of the Genius of the Free Market, unhampered by Government interference--unless Big Donors need some Government interference. Or a bail out.

We have now entered CloudKooKooLand. Fastern your seatbelts, it's gonna be a bumpy ride. Joseph Heller, your satirical world has now stepped through the pages of fiction into the world of reality. Is it January yet?

So they basically ruled that its possible to treat an animal for death?

Science is bad.

Testing is science.

Therefore testing is bad.

GOPiggie logic

A federal appeals court has sided with the Bush administration and ruled that the federal government can order a small meat supplier, Creekstone Farms, cannot test its beef for mad cow disease.

More destroying of our federal rules and regulations for the benefit of the corporate boys.
Tests for mad cow disease might take a few bucks out of their profit.

btw -- the samonella poisoning we just had last month which they blamed on the tomato industry but ended up coming from uninspected peppers imported from Mexico sicked more than 40,000 Americans.

Every time I read what Bush has done to destroy all our federal consumer safety rules and regulations these last eight years always putting corporate profit over our health and safety, I would never vote for a Republican President again.

Bush has intentionally underfunded our consumer safety/health agencies leaving them short of manpower to carry out safety inspections and has made all our federal rules and regulations governing consumer safety to be on a "voluntary only" basis. The U.S. will soon have the same health and safety standards some third world country -- all in the name of corporate profit.

Should we expect anything less from an administration that thinks it's smart to allow pharmacists to overrule doctors and refuse to dispense medicines they thing are morally wrong?

Logic has never beens its forte.

whoops.

thing=think

..........another example of how this administration wants to turn us into a big Mexico.......

.........how can they sleep at night ?........

this is a fucked up ruling..

oh well, been meaning to go vegetarian for a while now, then i just have to worry about the e. coli. yay for the bush administration's continued concern for science and the people who elected him one time.

" vegetarian "

That's Comanche for "poor hunter."

Logic has never beens its forte.
