You’re not gonna believe this from a kos diarist.
Oh wait, of course you will:
The Bush administration said Tuesday it will fight to keep meatpackers from testing all their animals for mad cow disease.
You read that right. The Bush “administration” will fight to keep meatpackers from testing their animals for mad cow disease.
WTF? How does stupid shit like this always end up happening?
A beef producer in the western state of Kansas, Creekstone Farms Premium Beef, wants to test all of its cows.
Great! Wonderful! Everybody’s gonna want their meat from Creekstone Farms! Free enterprise at its best! Give the people what they want!
Not so fast, says the “administration.” The people can go Cheney themselves.
But why?
The profits of the large meatpacking cartels will suffer. It is that simple.
