    Russia suspends US MEAT IMPORTS over "ractopamine"

    http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/02/1...n-on-u-s-meat/
    Washington sharply criticized Moscow Monday for banning imports of US meat, saying the Russians had ignored scientific proof that an additive in US animal feed is safe.


    Top US officials said that global food-safety experts had cleared the additive, ractopamine, as safe at levels used in the United States.
    But Russia, enforcing its own rules against any presence of ractopamine, on Monday banned all imports of beef, turkey, chicken, pork and other animals


    “The United States is very disappointed that Russia has taken action to suspend all imports of US meat, which is produced to the highest safety standards in the world,” said US Trade Representative Ron Kirk and US Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack in a joint statement.


    “Russia has disregarded the extensive and expert scientific studies conducted by the international food safety standards body, the Codex Alimentarius Commission,” they said.


    The commission “has repeatedly concluded that animal feed containing the additive ractopamine is completely safe for livestock and for humans that consume their meat.”


    They said Moscow had ignored repeated requests for talks on the issue “and instead has simply suspended US meat imports.”
    The United States exported $557.7 million worth of fresh meat, chilled or frozen, to Russia last year, according to US data.

    'We endorse the idea of voluntarism; self-responsibility: Family, friends, and churches to solve problems, rather than saying that some monolithic government is going to make you take care of yourself and be a better person. It's a preposterous notion: It never worked, it never will. The government can't make you a better person; it can't make you follow good habits.' - Ron Paul 1988

    In case you are unaware - The Codex is food regulation that is desired as global law, established, propagated and pushed by a consortium of Corporations;

    The World Trade Organization
    The United Nations
    The World Health Organization


    The Codex reminds me of a historical event(s);

    "Showers are right this way..."

    Oh no, I'm fully aware of what it is.

    Just had Warhammer 40K on the mind is all. Just a random comment that had nothing to do with my understanding of the article.

    For the Emperor.

    So the Codex Allmentarius, which develops standards but has no power in and of itself to enforce said standards is bad....

    But the Russian government, which is using force to prohibit the sale of a product is good...

    yep sounds libertarian to me.

    These bastards really are trying to destroy us.

    Go Russia and every other nation rejecting this nonsense.

    Americans will, of course, simply sit back on their fat asses and allow this to continue.

    There is only one correct way: freedom. All other solutions are non-solutions.

    It appears that artificial intelligence is at least slightly superior to natural stupidity.

    Our words make us the ghosts that we are.

    Convincing the world he didn't exist was the Devil's second greatest trick; the first was convincing us that God didn't exist.
