I think there"s too many conspiracy theorists in here! Like it or not, people are concerned about food safety. Personally, I think it"s blown a little out of proportion, but people demand safe food - you can"t blame them for that. As producers, these people are our end customers - if they"re not happy, what happens? They don"t buy our products and then we have no market so sell to - putting everyone out of a job! We should do everything we can to make ourselves transparent to them to prove that we are doing things right and safely, what are you people trying to hide? Most producers do everything they can to ensure the safety and health of their animals - why wouldn"t they - that"s they"re livelihood - they just need to let consumers see that! Now consumers have some responsibility here too, they need to be educated about facts, what is safe and what isn"t, and we need to debunk the myths a lot of people have. The bottom line is it"s about transparency - if a problem is found officials need to be able to track down it"s source and isolate it so the problem can be addressed. This can only add to consumer confidence! Will there be some hiccups along the way - sure there will, the government is involved! That"s why the NCBA (Nat"l Cattleman"s Beef Assoc) supports the program as long as it is run as a cooperation between government and industry. They have been spearheading the effort to develop an industry led system to hopefully eliminate some of those potential hiccups.
