Meat Board unhappy with senate report
CHICAGO, 111. - The
National Live Stock and
Meat Board this month made
an offer to the U.S. senate to
assist in development of
information “...in the in
terest of presenting an in
telligent, factual case for the
health and nutrition needs of
consumers and concerns of
livestock producers.”
In a letter to U.S. Sen.
Charles Percy (HI.), Meat
Board President David H.
Stroud pledged “...our staff
time and resources to
complete the body of
scientific information
missing from the volumes of
data upon which the Senate
Select Committee on
Nutrition and Human Needs
has previously based
analysis and conclusions.”
The Senate Select Com
mittee has been heavily
criticized in animal
agriculture circles since
mid-January when it issued

a report highly critical of the
meat centered American
diet, suggesting less meat be
eaten and more fish, poultry,
fruits, vegetables and grain
be consumed. Percy is
ranking minority member of
the unit which is chaired by
Sen. George McGovern
(S.D.) and is commonly
referred to as the McGovern
Committee.
While the Meat Board
recently blasted the
recommendations for
changing food habits, it has
been careful to avoid direct
criticism of the Committee
itself. In his note to Percy,
Stroud praised the
McGovern Committee’s role
in “...focusing attention on
special nutrition needs of the
poor and elderly,
highlighting nutritional
inadequacies of the affluent
American society and
identifying the need for
broad public programs of
nutrition education.”
“But,” Stroud said, “the
Committee report on
‘Dietary Goals for the United
States’ contained major
errors of conclusion based on
inputs to the Committee over
the last couple of years. The
Committee has accepted, as
nutrition gospel, advice
which has ranged from
simple anti-meat bias to
absurd and unprovable
statements. Much of it has
come from zealots with a
good deal to say but little to
no scientific evidence sup
porting their positions,”
Stroud said.
The Meat Board executive
said he was pleased that the
Senator had been personally
instrumental in preserving
the Special Committee’s
functions for at least another
year because it has ac
complished much that is
good.

Stroud advised the senator

industry, this Meat Board
