R-CALF gets COOL disappointment, travels to Midwest

I think it speaks volumes about priorities (and political donations) when politicians fight COOL requirements. I want my customers to know the farm (mine) their meat is coming from, and I want them to be comfortable with how that farm is run and how the animals are raised - all COOL asks is that they be able to identify which country the animal was from! A tiny step in reconnecting consumers with their food supply.

R-CALF USA expressed disappointment after learning California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed country-of-origin legislation earlier this week.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
