Laugh or cry….

….or both.  Hard to decide.  Those folks at the guvmint who are “here to help you” are giving meat labels a “face lift”.  The reporter passes on the assurance that this is intended to protect us unsuspecting consumers.

The change:  the labels on steaks will be changed to designate the country of origin and the country of slaughter.  That’s better.

Not what the animal was fed of course.  Certainly not whether it’s been raised on genetically modified grain.  Or what they injected it with or sprayed on it.  Nothing at all on that package of hamburger.  Of course, no label would be large enough to list all the countries that supplied whatever it is in that pound of burger.

Here’s the story.  It’s nice to know I have a pound of absolutely pure Thistle Hill burger in the refrigerator for lunch!
