You just can't be too safe nowadays. The Feds won't let you.

This is becoming comical. How can any reasonable person keep a company from spending their own money to be as safe as they want, especially when it helps their business? Another article states another one of their arguments: "If the government does not control the tests, the USDA is worried about beef exporters unilaterally giving consumers false assurance." Can anyone really give a reasonable argument for this?

I find it absolutely amazing that they can do this kind of thing.
