things that make you go "eeeeeew!"

my job currently involves becoming intimate with the 2008 farm bill. accordingly, i am reading about the new country of origin labeling program (also known as cool, because the government is awesome). the list of retail labeling options includes categories like "product of the u.s.," which means the critter was born, raised, and slaughtered in the u.s. and then i read this:

"for ground meat, the label must include all countries of origin that may be reasonably contained in that package."

eeeeeeew!
