Please don't pass a bill that would allow cheaper meat from China to flood our markets and the public not knowing. We should be able to make informed decisions as consumers and by not showing origins of meat would cause health and fraud issues. On a side note I can't believe that this was added to a DoD budget bill. They have nothing in common and the fact that it was added makes me feel they knew the agricultural bill would not pass on its own and they are trying to hind it. Please work for the people and their best interest and not businesses and other counties.
