With no oversight so ranchers can list whatever they want. This is nothing more than a lobbying group knocking other ranchers out of the market. Pat yourself on the back if it makes you feel better.

Please, with all due respect, if you are going to hashtag SFO, do not call it Frisco.Nobody who is native to Norcal or has lived there for a long time calls it Frisco.And good for San Francisco for requiring that.We like clean in Cali.

If that is true, then you should probably improve tracking sources and improve cleanliness.

How do you know that there is not oversight. May be true, but how do you know.

Also, this is a good first step and better than nothing.

How is this knocking ranchers out of the market?

Pretty simple. If you are not in the group allowed to supply, you simply cannot supply. My family is not allowed to supply in San Francisco. You must get a permit, which is impossible to get. Not a free market.

Oh, and by the way, it is complete BS and most of the "grass fed" beef is not grass fed at all. You're a bunch a naive lunatics in SF

Frisco food inspectors can impound merchandise and have it tested for antibiotics.

Why can some get permits and not others, including your family?

Also, I agree with you that there needs to be lock down and tight enforcement of common sense standards/requirements in the ag business. There are way too many folks out there doing bad things and reporting otherwise. Personally, i would be willing to pay higher taxes on food items to fund oversight and control (assuming the government could actually do it effectively.)

Consumers have the right to know. Great that Frisco is leading the world on this issue.

it was lobbied to only give out x number of permits. This drives the price up by limiting competition and controlling supply. These "features" like listed antibiotics also drive the price up because it is a luxury people are willing to pay for.

And I seriously doubt suppliers are listing every antibiotic they use.

The whole thing is asinine.

It's not hormones or antibiotics that are the problems with meat quality. It's pesticides and generations of living in captivity IMO
