	USDA Allowed ConAgra to Poison Americans with Tainted Meat
		On July 19th, ConAgra expanded the recall to 19 million pounds of tainted meat.
		According to food inspection team members who have blown the whistle to GAP, the USDA shielded ConAgra by a policy that is nothing less than a another cover-up harmful to the consumer and public health.
		By its "Don't Look, Don't Know" policy for beef inspection, the USDA chose ignorance of the facts over the truth that ConAgra was given the seal of approval for meat that was infected with E. coli many months before the 19 million pounds of tainted beef recalled in June, 2002.

		ConAgra said the announced actions, which include an increased marketing spend of about $75 million, are designed to improve long-term operating performance.
		Last year ConAgra blamed higher pork and beef costs and the company's failure to compensate by raising prices sufficiently as the main reasons for lowering its profits forecast by about one-third for the fiscal fourth quarter ended 29 May.

		ConAgra is a company few Americans have heard of, but it is a major force in food production in the US and a $20 billion dollar corporation.
		Like other food companies, ConAgra is hedging its bets with organic and "healthy" alternatives (Light Life, Healthy Choice, Certified Organic) in addition to its fat- and salt-laden staples.
		It's interesting to see that ConAgra has followed a strategy of owning scores of recognizable brands that are staples of the American shopping basket, yet none of them seems to be a billion dollar brand.
