Looks like the USDA dropped the ball on this one. Just another thing the gubberment does so well.
That would roughly be about 16000 cows or about 10% of all the dairy cows in California .Those cows are smoking again I just know it .We need to something about underage smoking cows . :rofl:

Industrial agriculture is full of stories like this. Unfortunately, it's the price we have to pay if we want a largely urban population.
They use "unfit for human consumption" in ways that really don't make sense. Like I remember a guy who sold pepperoni sticks he's gotten dirt cheap because they were mishaped and sold them at his grocery store at a massive discount that was in a poor area of town. Because the pepperoni sticks were misshaped they were declared "unfit for human consumption" and he was fined. Also recently a farm that won an award by the province for best meat had it all seized and it was declared the same because they hadn't properly documented everything while processing and didn't have records of what meat came from which cow.

Make sure you cook your hamburger to 155 degrees.

honestly just cook your food to the right temps and most issues are moot. Now if its spoiled meat and so on thats another story. As for the land being taking thats crap.
"Investigators now believe that Rancho was buying diseased dairy cows and processing them when government inspectors weren’t there. After the cows were killed, employees would hide the warning signs of cancer by trimming off diseased parts, using a fake stamp of approval or even replacing the heads of sick cows with ones from healthy animals. It’s unclear which employees were involved, officials said."
That's a hell of a day job, right there.

Just a reminder: high temperature will kill bacteria, but the toxins (waste products) left by bacteria will remain.
Some meat problems don't respond to heat. The prions (folded proteins) that cause mad cow disease and
similar problems in people, are not heat sensitive. You give yourself better chances against food borne
diseases by buying locally grown produce and meat that is grass fed and not run through feed lots for
fattening, where they can be fed ground up carcasses and grain that increases ecoli in the gut. Another
strategy is to be sure to follow your grandma's advice and eat a balanced diet so you aren't getting
primarily feed lot or confinement meat and are getting plenty of local fruits and veggies that are less likely
to have toxic pesticides. The body can fend off small quantities of bad stuff, but maybe
not the onslaught of six cheeseburgers a week and daily intake of processed food. "Inspection" is a
gloss that may encourage some good practices, but doesn't inspect or detect individual lots of bad meat
or produce. Some facilities are rarely visited at all. Buyer beware indeed. Stay away from "fast" food.
