The latest recall of 143 million pounds of Beef recalled in California that were providing meat to schools for lunch programs just re-emphasizes the need for stricter regulations and the damaging effects this has on the meat industry in the U.S.  It is time for the USDA to institute firm measures and fines.  I for one, only buy organic meat but not everyone has the luxury of paying higher prices for hopefully what is a safer quality meat.  Let us make our voices be heard in Washington especially in this election season!
