Huge beef recall issued
Posted by Michael on Friday, February 22nd, 2008From Los Angeles Times: “The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced the largest beef recall in its history Sunday, calling for the destruction of 143 million pounds of raw and frozen beef produced by a Chino slaughterhouse that has been accused of inhumane practices. However, the USDA said the vast majority of the meat involved in the recall — including 37 million pounds that went mostly to schools — probably has been eaten already. Officials emphasized that danger to consumers was minimal.”
What sorts of things should we be doing to decrease this? Some ideas:
- Become more vegetarian?
- Stronger regulation?
