Are you some kind of crypto hippie? As a farm boy, I have to put my foot down to this.
The US government of today does this and the quality is poor. Everything in the USA is based on corn syrup because of subsidized corn to force the world to become dependent on US agriculture. If you knew even a bit about corn, you would understand that its essentially poison compared to other vegetables. Nothing good comes from it and its a factor in world obesity. The majority of the crop has been engineered to be one shot plants that grow really fast and resist anything… including bugs. That means every seasonal planting, you have to waddle up to a supplier and buy a fields worth of Monsanto shoots.
Not much better if you do not have the patented corn. If you (((mysteriously))) get a few patented GMO corn shoots, and you didn't plant any, the government will strong arm you to surrender your entire crop to Monsanto to 'recoup' their 'loses'. Has the added bonus of begging your neighbors that didn't give in for spare shoots or being forced to go to a supplier to buy the damn Monsanto shoots.
Would be FDA approved. Tyson, Pilgrim et al. have cocktails of treatments for all raw beef to preserve and resist bacteria right in the slaughter plant. Before that, livestock is pumped with antibiotics to keep them alive until slaughter age (the antibiotics, along with the corn based diet, also have the side effect of fattening them further as well). Why? Their immune systems do not effectively work since they are on a corn based, rather then grass based diet. You will never have the benefit of eating beef from unstressed, grass fed cows… unless you're a rancher or elite.
Oh by the way… The FDA will not permit anyone to sell beef in super markets across state lines without the drug cocktail. This is done purely to hand over agriculture to few… and it works.
Also, what's the point of selling ruined meats? I want to make my money on repeat business, and have pride in my product; I won't get that if my customers end up sick. Walk into a super market, you don't see many local brands, ranch emblems, or farm seals… you see the global corporation's brands selling mysterious, not-lean, and unusually sized meat that makes people sick in the long term: obese, cancerous, inept.
The government, or a government, helped made that happen for the Chinese government now. China isn't taking the jobs, the US is handing them the jobs.
You better start believing in the "lolbertrian utopias" you love to warn about on Zig Forums everyday… You're living in one. The government may have serves the people then, but it merged with businesses you scream about.
