Joseph, thanks for taking the time to post this.  It seems to me that this
"report" is simply a summary of what the USDA has said in the past and
really offers nothing new.  Considering the heavy lobbying interests in our
country, it's really not too surprising the USDA's "position."  I wonder if
the new "studies" are really going to change their position or merely
rearrange the prejudice.
