The problem with regulations, though, which this article did not address, is that they rate and measure not results (How clean is the food coming out of the plant?) but records and equipment (Is there a record of this floor being mopped? Are your walls made of a certain kind of material?).
According to Joel Salatin, a slaughterhouse must be equipped with separate bathroom facilities for the exclusive use of the USDA inspector. This, of course, has nothing to do with whether the meat is tainted or not, but the extra expense for the extra bathroom is an effective obstacle to keep start-ups from entering the market (and competing with Tyson).
Yes, regulation is needed, but it should be results-oriented. If the meat comes out of the slaughterhouse untainted by disease or toxic chemicals, it shouldn't really matter what the walls are made of, or if the walls even exist.
Thanks for those points, thecraichead! I agree...I love Joel Salatin's comments about him not having walls...
paraphrased poorly:
Inspector: You have to have walls
Joel: Show me where your paper says I have to have walls
Inspector: Right here, it says all doors and windows must be equipped with screens.
Joel: That does not imply that you have to have doors and windows. IF you have them, they need screens.
Hahaha! What's missing with all these rules and regulations is common sense. Joel runs a very clean operation--he's had his meat tested against supermarket meat, and blows them out of the water for pathogenic bacterial counts...read the book if you're interested (Holy Cows and Hog Heaven or Everything I Want to do is Illegal).
You may argue that common sense is too subjective, but let me tell you, interpreting rules and guidelines is very subjective as well. I recently spoke with an ex-inspector for the MDA--I wanted an opinion of how I run things at La Vida Local based on Food Law, and she basically told me it totally depends on what inspector I have.
Personally, I choose to opt out of the insane food system. Those of you who have joined me here. I think feel much the same way. If I can choose to opt out of Western Medicine when I choose, and disregard the AMA's recommendations, why can't I do the same for FDA rules? I don't dislike all of Western Medicine, and I'm happy to have it in place when I need it for particular things, and I feel the same way about the FDA/MDA. They play in important role, but it shouldn't be the only path allowed. Do you agree?
I'm reading "John Adams" right now, immersed in details/notes of what our Founding Fathers had in mind when they wrote documents for our independence and new government. I'm astounded at how many of our envisioned freedoms have been lost, and how much of their language applies to our current food situation...down to references to "King George", LOL! :)
