"This is a critical example of our failure to have an animal ID system," warns Jean Halloran, director of food safety at the Consumer' s Union. "We were moving toward this sytem but the USDA backed off." In 2004 the USDA proposed a mandatory national animal tagging and tracking system that would make tracing the origins and whereabouts of any cow easy, but the effort has foundered...

Since then, including this month's toll, 10 Canadian soldiers and one civilian official (from...
...amiable, chatty and deeply unpretentious--he refers to his writing as "scribbling." But it's at least a bit of a con--he's read practically everything, and he gets a sly kick out of reminding you of that. He references both Ibsen and Crichton, Joan Didion and Jean Genet.
