I can't imagine it not being regulated. It is mass produced, sold on a mass scale,and the entire country eats it. If we were to import beef I would want that animal tracked, checked, and looked at every which way but Sunday.
While no, they don't do this with carrots or turnips. Carrots and turnips don't carry and spread disease,..

It is my understanding that NAIS would require livestock owners to pay a fee for every animal registered. The big factory farms could handle these extra expenses, would no doubt find a way to pass them on to the consumers, but the small livestock owners already struggling to hang on to their family farms can't afford the fees. Under NAIS, you have to inform the government every time you buy, sell, slaughter, or transport your registered livestock. The fees and endless paperwork are designed to dissuade people from raising their own food and leave food-raising exclusively to the big corporations.

Isn't that Codex stuff about how vitamins are going to be illegal by the end of next year? I'm sorry but there's just no way anything like that will ever come to fruition.

haha vegetables dont carry disease? Remember the Taco Bell incidents with Lettuce? Remember the Spaghetti sauce contaminations because of tomatoes? As long as you rely on mass produced food no matter what it is you worry about that crap.
