Nice to hear it's true. At least I hope it's true. For everyones sake. We all need to step up here. I'm pretty surer their were a lot of western consultants that helped frame their version of the EPA.


So if it isn't independent, why is it so hard to identify where they come from? Do they not mark their livestock? I wouldn't be surprised to hear an indy farmer not marking their stock, but a big one? I mean, what kind of food safety program do they have over there? It should be illegal to not tag them.
