[00:00:00]  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?
[00:00:07]  Well, that's something I've been fighting for several years now.
[00:00:09]  It goes back to the country of origin in labeling.
[00:00:12]  Every product that comes in the United States has to have the countries labeled where it came from.
[00:00:18]  You get grapes from Chile or you get avocados from Mexico or wherever, except two products.
[00:00:24]  Beef and pork.
[00:00:26]  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.
[00:00:37]  No.
[00:00:38]  And that's just deceptive advertising.
[00:00:41]  That's lying to the American consumer.
[00:00:42]  It's got to stop.
[00:00:44]  The reason we have that is because the beef and pork lobby are very, very strong.
[00:00:48]  And they got that through.
