This raises many concerns and questions!

Who Decides what constitutes an “improvement?”

Vertical Integration Kills a Free Market

This sounds Dangerously like a Soviet-Style Planned Economy

Hokey!!Somebody got some splainin’ to do!!!!

Where did all this “Continuous Improvement” crap Come from anyway?

Chapter 7, Article 39. Citizens of the USSR enjoy in full the social, economic, political and personal rights and freedoms proclaimed and guaranteed by the Constitution of the USSR and by Soviet laws. The socialist system ensures enlargement of the rights and freedoms of citizens and continuous improvement of their living standards as social, economic, and cultural development programs are fulfilled. Enjoyment by citizens of their rights and freedoms must not be to the detriment of the interests of society or the state, or infringe the rights of other citizens.

Vision: We envision a world in which all aspects of the beef value chain are environmentally sound, socially responsible and economically viable. Mission: The mission of the Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef is to advance continuous improvement in global beef value chain sustainability, through leadership,science and multi-stakeholder engagement and collaboration.

Don’t Worry, Be Happy. Now that you know you can fight. The Cowboys always win.

A well developed body of anti-trust law drops it in its tracks
