FDA Destroys Food Donated by Britain
Thanks Anyway...
Why may you ask is the federal government burning tons of supplies donated by the British to help feed Katrina survivors? Apparently due to the BSE (mad cow) fears from the contaminated British beef supply years ago, such products are banned from consumption in the United States. Although U.S. soldiers in NATO and British troops eat these meals without ill effect.
If anyone thinks that New Orleans will be successfully and quickly rebuilt, this should be a cautionary tale.
