US orders massive recall of beef

The title of my article is US orders massive recall of beef. In this article, The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) has ordered the recall of 143m lb of beef. The number of recalled meat was the largest in the US's history. However, major food chanis supplied some recalled beef, and officials said most people have already eaten the recalled beef. The level of recall was Class 2 which meaned it might harm consumer's health. According to an Agricltual Secretary, in fact, the recalled beef does not have a possibility of BSE, but officials said the beef should be removed from the food supply or checked carefully for consumer's health.

Nowadays, many countries import American meat. So, meat firms in America take several measures to supply the demand. For example, they use genetically madified organisms, and feed a lot to increase the number or gain weight. Because of these process, many cows are affected. The cost of meat which are made by these process is low, while the cost of meat which are made by natural is high. So, the low cost lead many people or firms to the inorganic meat. I think these problems are from mass production by growing population. Unless population go down, these problems could not solve. So if we care about our health, we should buy high cost meat. We have to care by our selves. And firms should inspect more carefully to harm our health.
