Krsna is being so kind to them, publicizing the fact that beef is safe.

 

Unfortunately, they don't have a higher taste, so they continue eating it --

incurring both health risk and karmic risk.

Madness of Untested Beef

 

April 14, 2004

 

 

 

 

To the Editor:

 

Re "U.S. Won't Let Company Test All Its Cattle for Mad Cow"

(news article, April 10):

 

 

Is this government bureaucracy gone amok or simply another

example of the failure of public servants to protect the

interests of the American public?

 

 

How can testing of all cattle for mad cow disease, a

potentially fatal illness, be bad for consumers?

 

 

Contrary to what the National Cattlemen's Beef Association

says, the most important thing is not the potential false

impression that untested beef is not safe but rather the

truthful understanding that tested beef is not infected.

 

 

What a perversion of the free-market system and what an

example of a government agency's pandering to an industry

group at the expense of the health of all Americans.
