I was reading an article about some American meat packers advocating a more open border between Canada and the US. The story isn’t earth shattering, I think it is well known the beef import ban was hurting many US packers. I’m posting about it here because of this one quote that made me smile.
Mark Dopp of the American Meat Association says all Canadian cattle should be allowed into the U.S., given that the two countries now have almost identical rules in place when it comes to testing for and dealing with cases of mad cow disease.
“Calling Canadian beef unsafe is like calling your twin sister ugly,” he said Monday.
It doesn’t get much more straightforward than that.
