Ok, I personally am not a fan of any sort of the PCRM, not even a small fan, but I have to give them a little credit on this one. I had no idea the USDA was encouraging the practices of companies like this, and I hate to say this, but I agree with Barnard's statement:
Yes, Dr. Barnard, someone needs to clue the USDA in. They ought to know better than this.

Of course, if this is just a pack of lies, and the USDA really isn't behind this, then this will certainly discredit the PCRM a little (although I usually don't buy into what they say anyhow).
