“You gotta love our socialist Republican Party of free-market capitalism and personal responsibility,” opined Whiskey & Gunpowder’s Greg Grillot. Uh-oh…something must be under ol’ “Grizzle’s” skin. Yeah, it’s meat.
The Bush administration announced last week that it would take strides to keep meatpackers from conducting their own mad cow disease testing. The Department of Agriculture tests fewer than 1% of slaughtered cows for the disease, according to the International Herald Tribune. But the guv’mint is attempting to restrict farmers from conducting their own tests in an effort to “prevent false positives” and keep costs down.
Mr. Grillot, a lover of all varieties of dead, cooked meat, is distressed. “Oh, that makes perfect sense now,” he writes. “The government can't let a small business voluntarily impose safety measures. They have to protect the meat industry.”
