Wow! A well-written, informative blog post from Andrew Zimmern on USDA/AMS attempt to co-opt the phrase "naturally raised" in connection with beef production, followed by a foie gras dustup, a rant on restaurant ownership and a long, thoughtful comment from the one and only Lenny Russo, chef-owner of Heartland and champion of sustainable food production. That's a lot of action in one blog post (with comments)!
At the end of the day, though, please read Zimmern's post and comment at the AMS website, if you feel as he does (and I do) that the proposed labeling is just corporate whitewash. This article from Michael Pollan, on the "rectification of names" is on a slightly different word, but the idea is the same.
