Ridecamp: RE: [RC] RE:[RC] Quality of Life (legislating and regulating)

> Considering how strict the standards are for drugs in meat and milk today,
the concept that these animals "live" on antibiotics is absurd.  Antibiotic
use was much more prevalent in earlier times, but with the information about
the problems of residues, the meat and milk industries have had to meet
carcass and milk standards that are extremely strict.  -- Heidi

Hey Heidi,

This is a good point; Orb got out of the business 4 or 5 years ago, the
industry has changed since then. His comment's were that regulations are
only as good as the inspectors checking for them for the period of time that
the inspectors were on site; after that we're trusting the individuals
managing or tending the animals.

Do they test meat regularly and enforce these regulations?
