A dangerous precedent

A Federal judge has ruled that Creekstone Farms Premium Beef of Kansas cannot be prevented by the government from testing all of its cattle for bovine spongiform encephalopathy (mad cow disease). The USDA currently performs all of the testing done in the American marketplace but only tests a relatively small sample after having reduced its testing by around 90% last year.

The government's pursuit of the case has obviously at the behest of large meat packing companies who are afraid that they will have to follow suit if Creekstone Farms begins advertising its meat as 100% tested and safe.

Isn't this just the "free" market at work?
