We are talking about a meat producer in capitalistic and free market economy? The answer is "NO". This is happening in America and the Feds are fighting to keep the producer from doing it. What the fuck?

Excerpts:
A beef producer in Kansas, Creekstone Farms Premium Beef, wants to test all of its cows. Larger meat companies feared that move because, if Creekstone should test its meat and advertised it as safe, they might have to perform the expensive tests on their larger herds as well. A federal judge ruled in March that such tests must be allowed. The ruling was scheduled to take effect June 1, but the Agriculture Department said Tuesday it would appeal, effectively delaying the testing until the court challenge has played out. The Agriculture Department argued that widespread testing could lead to a false positive that would harm the U.S. meat industry. U.S. District Judge James Robertson noted that Creekstone sought to use the same test the government relies on and said the government lacked the authority to restrict it.

Now we have 3 presidential candidates who don't believe in

Science. That is right. There are 3 GOP candidates who don't believe in evolution but instead believe there is a higher power that created all. The three stoogies have been identified as Sen. Sam Brownback, Gov. Mike Huckabee, and Rep. Tom Tancredo. What is quite perplexing about this whole thing is that America is the high tech nation and once of the most advanced societies. These are the people who is going to lead the nation that has a huge stake in World politics? I sincerely wish Jesus doesn't vote for them or let people vote for them.
