Open Question: Now that these crooked meat & dairy farmers can't feed meat and byproducts to livestock due to Mad Cow disease?1 April 2011, 4:27 pmwhat are they going to do with the surplus meat? Farmers can't feed livestock animal meat and meat byproducts anymore due to the Mad Cow disease outbreak, which Is what they were using surplus meat for. USDA regulation prohibit sick animals from entering the food supply because of the high risk of contamination by E. coli, salmonella or Mad Cow disease. About 37 million pounds of the recalled meat went to school lunch and other federal nutrition programs since October 2006, and "almost all of it is likely to have been consumed," according to a USDA official. Knowledgeable people know need to treat ground beef as a hazardous substance to be consumed at one's own peril. The USDA has already started the National School Lunch Program in the 1940s and the National School Breakfast program as a dumping ground for surplus meat and dairy commodities. They were established as a way to prop up food prices by absorbing farm surpluses. Schools participating in the program comes in the form of a cash reimbursement for each meal served. Schools are also entitled to receive commodity foods and additional commodities as they are available from surplus agricultural stocks. We have been subsidizing milk farmers for 60+ years, which is one of the main reasons why.. Also, the European Union has banned the import of American conventional meat and dairy. They do not want American beef due to the fact that the FDA allows food companies to use more than five different synthetic antibiotics in meat known to be dangerous health. The farmers also feed livestock GM feed like grains and byproducts, which are banned also in the EU, to livestock. And the crooked FDA is wasting time trying to lift the ban. What are they going to with the surplus of meat?
