Jack Layton offers subsidies to meat eaters and industry
September 22, 2008 · By Charles Anthony
I wonder what vegetarians and healthy eating people think of Jack Layton’s bright idea:
An NDP government would ensure there are inspectors on the floor of every meat processing plant in the country and insist that imported processed meats are subjected to the same standards as domestic meats, Mr. Layton said while standing in front of Parliament.
Why should meat eaters and the meat industry get such special subsidies? That sounds unfair to me. It just sounds like a simple-minded way to make people think he cares.


Meatetarians of the world Unite!

What i would like to see is all processed meats pasteurized as they do in the U.S.They also have zero tolerance in the allowable amount of Listeria found in the meat.In Canada, we tolerate many thousands of the bacteria and do not pasteurize the meat.
We play with fire everyday this is allowed to happen.
What I would like to see is where all of this recalled Maple Leaf meat has gone??? I would be more than happy to take it all.
I mean, all you have to do is cook it.
