Let the "market" decide, huh? How about this? The Dumbyasshole administration is ORDERING a beef producer NOT to test its products....

"A beef producer in the western state of Kansas, Creekstone Farms Premium Beef, wants to test all of its cows.

Great! Wonderful! Everybody's gonna want their meat from Creekstone Farms! Free enterprise at its best! Give the people what they want!

Not so fast, says the "administration." The people can go Cheney themselves.

But why? Why the hell would anyone get in the way of something like that? And on what grounds?

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.

The Agriculture Department regulates the test and argued that widespread testing could lead to a false positive that would harm the meat industry.
