Just as it is ok to innoculate your children with contaminated vaccines.
These government agencies serve the corporations. The public be damned.

USDA Refuses to Recall "Comingled" Meat That Contains Beef from Westland
Plant Downer Cows
Following the unprecedented recall of 143 million pounds of beef that was
potentially contaminated with mad cow disease, the USDA has decided that it's
okay for children and consumer to eat that beef as long as it is comingled with
beef from other cows. This startling decision appeared in a USDA memo reported
in the Wall Street Journal, which stated:
"If a processor or grinder has records demonstrating that products were
produced using less than 100% of recalled Westland meat for the meat component,
then there is no need...to retrieve that 'commingled' product."
This statement from the USDA reveals that the agency believes the recalled beef
is so dangerous that nobody should eat it, but it's safe enough to eat
alongside beef from other cows. This is a curious -- if not downright laughable
-- stance to take on public safety. If the meat is potentially contaminated
with mad cow disease (which is the whole reason why it was recalled in the
first place), then mixing mad cow disease-contaminated meat with
non-contaminated meat does not reduce the potential danger of the "commingled"
meat in any way whatsoever.
