they deserve answers from the usda too. i have many constituents who are facing serious financial losses and they can't get any information about what happened. many ranchers in the north bay had tens of thousands of pounds of their premium beef recalled and the usda won't tell them what happened. whether their beef was actually contaminated or even when this case will be closed. we've gotten far more information, frankly, from cnn than we've gotten from usda. and this is completely unacceptable. our amendment transfers $1 million from usda's administrative account to the inspector general's office so we can have the resources needed to swiftly complete this investigation, close the case an make sure we get answers so we can prevent this from happening again. i reserve. mr. aderholt: would the gentleman yield? i simply wanted to say we accept your language. mr. huffman: thank you very much. i yield back to the gentleman from california. mr. tmp -- mr. thompson: i thank the gentleman for cooperating with us on this important

which is supported by the usda. in the late '90s when nobody was buying bacon because of the low-fat diet trend. and they said how can we get people to eat bacon, the pork bellies price was pennys on the dollar. they started selling precooked round bacon. now we have the wendy's bacon double hamburger. that started the trend to bacon ice cream or vegan bacon , fake bacon. >> you brought a product called beyond meat which is insanely delicious. >> here is a sample of one of our wonderful trendy salads. it's kale and quinoa and we use . so people see a baked cup cake for instance for instance and you really don't pay too much attention to the ingredients unless you're watching something specific and you have an allergy, that's the gateway into our shop. >> what's going on behind the scenes? how do you know that you're hitting the quote unquote sweet spot? is it trial and error or do you have a recipe that you stick to to create the food that you know is going to work, know that's going to sell? >> we definitely keep an

the usda has almost a specialist in every county in the united states. and almost in every country in the united states as we have ag advisors in all our embassies. it is an awesome responsibility to govern a very complex system of trade and balances of fighting sanitary inspections, fighting diseases that get into this country. it's lot of fun also. i think that's why we get along well trying to put together a good bill. now, i voted against this bill in committee because of the concerns on several aspects. among these concerns are two highly objectionable nutrition riders. i'm concerned that the bill would allow school food authorities to set waivers from complying with the improved lunch and breakfast nutrition standards in the healthy, hunger free kids act which we enacted in 2010. the bill would allow them to get waivers if they show there are operating at a net loss. i believe that rather than going backwards and serving the children in some schools less healthy meals, we should be encouraging the usda to continue giving schools the technical assis

the usda and other have said gmo's are the same in terms of nutritional content. >> why not label? >> gmo doesn't tell them anything other than it's the skull and cross bones. what they want and what michael hanson wants is to scare people and end the biotechnology revolution. so we have no impact. >> no, that is not a scare tactic. it is table tlabel the same arg used when they required fast and sugars and saturated fats. thank you michael, john, please stick around. someone else wants to tell you and me that we are wrong because we are not upset enough about chemicals. before we go to her, i will guy ahead and make more enemies by pointing out that i do sometimes mock people's fear of chemicals. for example do you worry about die hydrogen monoxide. it's an odorless tasteful chemical that killed thousands of people. many died after inhaling it. it also rust metal has been found in tumors and terminal cancer patients. sounds pretty nasty, but think about it. dy hydrogen mondoxide h20. this is water. >> i went to times square see if i could fool people into signing a petition to ban

this is almost as if the usda decided we are part of the executive branch led by president obama ands are enforced and which laws are not. and, therefore, we are telling you. >> they can't do that but they can hold back federal money that's going to hurt georgia. >> but that also would -- roll back their campaign of dependency because they want them to. >> they would but it would hurt people. >> absolutely it would. >> now, on your fox business show you got into crazy territory. impeaching president obama over the taliban swap. see now, when you are go into those precincts, all the legit report something down the drain because the other side says look how nutty they are. and you just bolstered the "new york times" which said today oh, this is just about getting obama. >> you know, i was afraid you would take scant evidence. >> scant? >> scant. >> i like that. >> and explode it to vast portions which i see that you have resisted and i want to thank you for that. >> you are welcome. >> as your good buddy here i want to bring it back a little bit into focus. i never never suggested impe

one of the things it creates a new licensing process for inspectors requiring usda to train license andppoint independent inspectors, licensed or accredited veterinarians were given preference. who stands to benefit? the veterinarians association. and i started to run the numbers. >> my response is that the industry has been given a chance for 40 years. 40 years to run this themselves without licensing. to run the inspections and make sure these practices are not taking placement i met with the industry six years ago and said let's figure out a path forward where there is not this abuse. i was manipulated and lied to. the u.s. department of agriculture charged with bringing these veterinarians onboard now which hopefully has been trying to work with the industry for 40 years to get them to police themselves and we have been unsuccessful. >> who else would you have? a vet can -- >> how many vets are there in the state of tennessee. there are the american -- >> you are saying that this is we are out of time. but you are saying this process vets -- that is it for this edition. follow me on

>> one is organic, the definition that the usda has and farmers need to go through the certification process in order to use the term. the other is used loosely by people like me, farming practices where the soil is restored and revitalized. john: and no pesticides. >> that's right. john: and what's wrong with that, jon? >> she said something that is totally wrong. there's about 30 pages of usda regulations -- john: this is my wonk horn, deep in the weeds. >> organic farmers use pesticides as much or more than conventional farmers. many of the farmers are much more harmful. go on usda. bacteria and listeria are natural, doesn't mean it's less harmful. >> i have to agree with jon, there is poisonous mushrooms and plants we could eat. there is definitely good bacteria as well. that is one of the points of organic farming, when i saw organic, i mean beyond the usda certification process of organic where farmers looked at soils and see what's going on in there. >> there is three metastudies showing there's no value to this. john: we are losing the debate, liz is winning. most people agre

according to the usda, in the last 50 years, pollen has increased by over 200%. >> i'm going to ask againat? >> co2, increases of co2 in our environment. plants breathe co2. makes plants prosper. it makes plants produce pollen. so. >> we're breathing out co2, it's in the air, coming from cars and machines and all this stuff, so the co2 level in the air is rising. then plants because they love that so they start to pollinate because they're happy? >> they pollinate and not making people happy. >> what happens when the pollen comes into somebody's body? what starts to happen? what's the mechanism? >> a number of things. because our immune systems are getting weaker in today's modern science -- >> and i think it has all to do with diet. i'm sorry. i had to interject. >> diet. >> alcohol, coffee. >> we're moving away from the ways we're genetically connecting. when we get away from those natural ways to live, we get into where we're becoming like zombies and our immune systems are getting weak. and now with the added pollen, we need help. our immune systems, our bodies need help. that's what

will it be the usda or will it be the e.p.a.? farmers generally trust usda's voluntary approach to conservation, but what happens to that trust if usda is suddenly thrust into the business of enforcing e.p.a. regulations on the farm? conversely, is e.p.a. going to hold any sway over usda's voluntary conservation standards? since they're planning to use those standards to regulate farms, this is a great concern. let me mention one additional cause for concern. these supposedly exempt practices are not even in the proposed rule. they're in a separate document from the rule, and that document can change on the whim of the e.p.a., without warning and with no opportunity whatsoever for public comment. so ranchers doing a practice consistent with the list may get the rug pulled out from under them. now, e.p.a. claims that this rule will provide certainty. it will provide predictability, they say. in one respect, they're right. as a constituent of mine from ogalala rightly put it -- quote -- "the only clarity the proposed rule provides i
