Eat Sh!t, I mean Chicken
WTF?! USDA is planning to let chicken and turkey plants inspect themselves.
They already tried this in the 90s and the Daily Kos reports "The average error rate for this category in the chicken slaughter facilities was 64 percent and 87 percent in turkey slaughter facilities." Gross! Stop their pilot program or you'll be eating poop.TAKE ACTION:
- Leave a comment for the USDA at http://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=FSIS-2011-0012-0001
- Sign the Daily Kos Petition to stop the pilot program at http://campaigns.dailykos.com/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=109

Or, go vegetarian...
I’m becoming less enamored with Obama, I can’t believe he would go along with this but he keeps giving in on so many issues
@vexations - I fear that the repercussions of Obama may be worse for the US than Bush. For example, since his administration took the wolf off the endangered species list last May, 40% of the wolf population of Idaho has been killed and 33% of Montana's wolves have been killed. http://www.montrealgazette.com/technology/TENSION+OVER+DEAD+WOLVES/6405685/story.html
Like the fox watching (literally) the hen house.
And this is just one of the reasons why I eat less and less meat these days. Thanks for posting this, I just signed the petition.
