Now what about that beef is organic?

CattleNetwork.com: USDA Seeks To Expand Allowable Substances In Organic Meat. To wit: "USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service is seeking comment on a proposed rule that would expand by eight the number of allowable substances used in treating livestock under the National Organic Program."

Make that: Reduce by 8 the number of substances disqualifying for organic. This is what happens when you start regulating a very simple concept. It becomes eroded, subverted and Orwellian. By the time the administrative process is through we'll have organic beef that is virtually indistinguishable from whatever you call business as usual in the beef industry.
