To whom it may concern:

Your proposal of labeling beef "grass fed" when the animals will be kept in
confinement, fed harvested forage, corn silage and other grains that have not
been separated from their stalks, is outrageous.  Feedlot beef fed antibiotics,
hormones and shouldn't ever be legally be labeled "grass fed" beef. 

"Grass fed should mean "grass fed"  ---cattle that have been humanely raised in
grass pastures from birth to harvest, the way nature intended.   I don't ever
eat veal since they're not raised in a manner that I feel is healthy.  Tricking
the public by changing the standard isn't acceptable under any terms.

Sincerely yours,
Laura Livingston
