11. Never mind that foreign countries already ban these medicated animals
And that big ag refuses to relent, because the whole US system of CAFO's depends on it to function without unsustainable animal mortality. On the other hand, they can't sell the huge amounts of animals to the export market, so they are stuck.

The same thing is happening with GMO food commodities. Amny countries absolutely refuse to allow their importation. Yet, they may allow it as long as it is only used for animal feed... Ask yourself, do we really need to be subsidize a foreign country's animal feed?


It's nothing but common sense for this practice to end. Obama is just making political points.

Now is we get to see the Mandatory Labeling of GMO food, then I will maybe start paying attention, because that would be huge progress.
