KANSAS CITY (Dow Jones)--A proposed change in meat import packaging
requirements by Mexico, if implemented later this month as scheduled, could be a major blow to U.S. meat exports, according to U.S. meat industry organizations.

The proposed change in packaging specifications made by Mexican officials
would eliminate the use of combo bins and require that all meat products be in boxes. Combo bins are large cardboard containers that hold approximately 2,000 pounds of fresh meat products for further processing.

Funny how when Americans restrict access to their markets it is billed as food safety. Yet when someone else does it there is "no scientific or legal justification".

COOL regulations in America has done to Canadian producers what the Mexican regulations will do to American producers.

To Mexicans - Way to go!!!

To Americans - What is good for the goose is good for the gander. HA HA!

Should polygamy be illegal in Canada?

What real value does this law have? Please, anybody. As long as it is between consenting adults. Why can't a gay guy have as many husbands as he wants?

Yes I am also concerned, disgusted etc., when I here about young girls being married of to older men in arranged marriages and the like. That is very different. We need to protect our children from people that would take advantage of their inexperience.
When some one becomes an adult they can make their own decisions.

This law is, I believe, based on a passage in the bible that say that if a mam wants to be a deacon in the church he should have only one wife. Hell, I don't even want to be in the church let alone a deacon.

If you are getting married in a church then the church can have a say but a civil marriage is a government marriage not a religious deal so get the government out of our bedrooms and back into the closet where they belong

Who really cares what ( or who ) I do in the bedroom
