[CollectiveWisdom] Don't go to Mc's

I received this from a very concerned friend, so am forwarding to many of my

groups.

I received this from someone recently and totally agree with it. I don't

understand why the USA allows imports of food that don't have to have the same

level of inspection or follow the same rules for pesticides, etc. as that grown

in our own country - totally defeats the purpose of having regulations in the

first place, which is to protect the consumer! D

THIS IS A GOOD DECENT MAN WHO TOOK THE TIME TO WRITE THIS AND: HE SIGNED THE

STATEMENT AND: INCLUDED HIS CONTACT INFO:

I'm sure those of you who aren't in the cattle business don't understand the

issues here. But to those of us whose living

depends on the cattle market, selling cattle, raising the best

beef possible... This is frustrating..

This will keep us from ever stopping there again, even for a drink.

The original message is from the Texas Cattle Feeders Association

American cattle producers are very passionate about this.

Mc's claims that there is not enough beef in the USA to support their

restaurants.. Well, we know that is not so. Our opinion is they are looking to

save money at our expense. The sad thing of

it is that the people of the USA are the ones who made Mc's successful in

the first place, but we are not good enough to provide good beef.

We personally are no longer eating at Mc's, which I am sure does not make

an impact, but if we pass this around maybe there

will be an impact felt.

All Americans that sell cows at a livestock auction barn had to sign

a paper stating that we do NOT EVER feed our cows any part of another cow. South

Americans are not required to do this as of yet.

Mc's20has announced that they are going to start importing much of their

beef from South America . The problem is that South Americans aren't under the

same regulations as American beef producers, and the regulations they have are

loosely controlled.

They can spray numerous pesticides on their pastures that have been banned here

at home because of residues found in the beef. They can also use various

hormones and growth regulators that

we can't. The American! public needs to be aware of this problem

and that they may be putting themselves at risk from now on by eating at good

old Mc's..

American ranchers raise the highest quality beef in the world and

this is what Americans deserve to eat. Not beef from countries

where quality is loosely controlled. Therefore, I am proposing a boycott of

Mc's until they see the light.

I'm sorry but everything is not always about the bottom line, and when it comes

to jeopardizing my family's health, that is where I

draw the line.

I am sending this note to about thirty people. If each of you send it to at

least ten more (30 x 10 = 300) ... and those 300 send it to at l east ten more

(300 x 10 = 3,000) ... and so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth

generation of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers!

I'll bet you didn't think you and I had that much potential, did you? Acting

together we can make a difference. If this makes sense to you, please pass this

message on..
