All I know is the effects of dioxin are being hushed up... http://www.idph.state.il.us/envhealth/factsheets/dioxin.htm
The danger is being played down truth is they haven`t got a clue... some experts now saying short term exposure means 30 days not months or lifetimes...
Did I miss something or was I just listening and watching facial expressions when the government officials sat down for the press release on saturday night...
"The levels of dioxin found are very high" and in the next breath "the levels of dioxins are extremely high" ?
Our local Dunnes was selling half price pork steaks most of the day on Saturday. Did they know something?
Why arent the pork folk looking for compensation from the offending supplier?
Would suppliers not have insurance against such losses?I suspect that the scale of the problem is so great that it is beyond the resources of that supplier to pay more than a tiny fraction of the losses.
how did they figure out the existence of a problem and the source at the same time?
Isn't it the case that another country alerted Ireland to the problem (Italy was it?) and all Irish pork products are to be destroyed? With that in mind, it was appear to me that the Irish systems did not prove to be useful. In fact, they would appear to be a complete waste of time and money.Yet if it was not for events like this, where the systems proved to be useful, people might continue to carp about the paperwork burdens imposed on farmers and others. When this story dies down, the carping about bureaucracy can resume.
