That's up there with a case a few years ago. Turns out the FDA requires abattoirs to test one in a hundred steers for BSE. A company in Kansas that specializes in high quality beef decided they were going to test every single steer for BSE. The FDA told them they couldn't. I think I'll stick to eating buffalo. I know the folks who raise and the folks who process mine. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
