I stopped eating meat. The processing that these factory farms do to these animals sickens me. I wont contribute to such cruelties….and in turn, I wont be poisoned by labels of meat.

I never thought I would see the day that I would have to ask my own government to accurately label the food I eat. This is utterly disgusting. When I purchase food that claims it is a “Product of USA” I expect it to be just that. The credibility of the Federal Government (YOU!) stinks in so many ways and areas. Clean up your act.

We need to know where our food is produced, who produced it, and under what conditions. We can do better.

Only meat products grown and processed in the United States should be labeled “Product of USA”. Simple as that!

We, the consumers, will not eat meat products from other countries we don’t trust at all. We don’t want to be poisoned. USDA better not play games with lies.

The current FSIS labeling policy for “Product of U.S.A.” grants foreign countries and foreign interests unfair marketing opportunity that harms America’s family farmers by allowing foreign entities to receive a premium from consumers who unwittingly believe they are buying meat and meat products with ingredients that originate domestically.
Research has shown that as many as 93% of Americans want to know where their food comes from and 75% of Americans indicate the source of origin of their food is a major attribute when making their food choices. The current FSIS policy misleads Americans when they are making their purchases and denies America’s family farmers these food dollars. FSIS food labeling policy for “Product of U.S.A.” should be based on the source of the ingredients.

Only meat raised in America should receive a “Product of U.S.A.” sticker. Anything else is an out right lie! We have the right to know where our meat comes from. We have right to know what we are eating.
