Nick is way out of touch with what drives and distorts the USA cattle market. How many independent hog producers does he really represent? Nick needs to understand like many others that “we don’t need them as bad, the importing countries need us”. We have the people and the money to buy USA product and never has it been said or stated in writing by any of the groups that support COOL, that these importing countries cannot sell into the United States. They just have to label it much like Tyson puts their name on the packages it sells. Multiple country of origin labels were a lie to consumers by the monopolies and we just fixed it by eliminating the lies on where your food comes from. Why don’t guys like Nick talk about the biased three member WTO panel that made that ruling. He said he was a lawyer? Would he allow anyone on a jury that had a conflicting interest in any case he tried? I seriously doubt it but now he is paid to say what he did. Guilty by association!
