The President of Westland/Hallmark Meat testified to Congress that he got sick viewing the secret video of his employees maltreated sick cows so they could be slaughtered. He reluctantly said the sick meat got into the food supply.
The video prompted the largest meat recall in U.S. History.

In a related matter, as the President tries to scare us in accepting his illegal spying on us (to protect us from “the terrorists”), what do you fear the most. 1. Terrorists will poison the food supply? 2. The food supply will be poisoned by lack of standards and inspection?
