"What's MCOOL ?" You ask. It stands for Mandatory Country of Origin labeling, simple really like "Product of the USA" I bet you thought we already had that. Well on most products we do but not all.
You might have seen "Processed in the USA" on beef, so that means it came from America right?
NO. That only means it was cut up here.
It's hard to believe that some packers would buy cattle from outside the US and try to pass it for America beef.
Why not when you can buy a cheaper product and pass it off for a better one. Amercia beef leads the world in quality and taste of beef. Why, because here we have the resources and grain supply along the ability to store and transport products in all conditions. Sorry but others just don't have the development or infrastructure America does.
So how did MCOOL get a Facebook group to grow so fast. Almost 3000 members in less than 10 hours?
Funny thing, I don't think it was intentional. I think it just naturally happened. A few ranchers started a petition last week to support MCOOL then one started a Facebook group and invited some folks and they invited some folks so on and so on.
The pure force behind it, is that people not only want to know where the food is coming from but they also don't want to depend on countries outside the USA to produce it.
I was one of the first people to join and invited many others to join as well. It was amazing how many and how fast people joined up. Thank you. It is an important issue to me and I hope we can get this labeling corrected soon.
