Well, what's your opinion of that recent change in law that, let's say, you get meat from Brazil or Australia or China, but it doesn't have to be labeled? | |
Well, that's something I've been fighting for several years now. | |
It goes back to the country of origin in labeling. | |
Every product that comes in the United States has to have the countries labeled where it came from. | |
You get grapes from Chile or you get avocados from Mexico or wherever, except two products. | |
Beef and pork. | |
If they repackage it, mix it with American hamburger, they can now label it product of USA. Which, by the way, I think 99% of the people in the country don't know that fact. | |
No. | |
And that's just deceptive advertising. | |
That's lying to the American consumer. | |
It's got to stop. | |
The reason we have that is because the beef and pork lobby are very, very strong. | |
And they got that through. |
