To say the CNN report is troubling is an understatement..
Here’s the basic information as reported:
CNN exclusive: A meat processing plant in California was buying diseased dairy cows and processing them when government inspectors weren’t there, federal officials tell CNN.
After the cows were killed, employees at Rancho Feeding Corp., based in Petaluma, California, would hide the warning signs of cancer by trimming off diseased parts, using a fake stamp of approval or even replacing the heads of sick cows with ones from healthy animals, the officials say
In case that didn’t settle in, they’d REPLACE THE HEADS OF SICK COWS WITH HEALTHY ONES… read that?
And things like this don’t help either: We also learn that one of the government inspectors – someone responsible for protecting consumers from bad meat – was having a romantic relationship with a plant foreman..
