What’s in Your Beef? An Unsettling Govt. Report Provides Answers

Animal Factory author David Kirby has a Huffington Post piece summarizing a recent government report on drug residues and other contaminants found in beef. This is a prime article to tweet or post to your Facebook wall; I can’t imagine any beef eater being OK with its revelations.

Kirby’s recommendation to put “a cow or two” on the Whitehouse lawn is silly, but the rest of this piece kicks ass. I loved the part about the copper-contaminated beef getting rejected at the Mexican border, and getting sent back to the USA for American consumers to eat. You know when fucking Mexico of all countries has higher food safety standards than America, we’ve got major problems.

In related news, Kirby’s Animal Factory currently ranks #157 on Amazon.com. This is definitely not a book animal agribusiness wants to be a best seller. (Via BayAreaBites.) Link.
