“This is a fairy tale that this technology is not being used and is not already in the food chain,” said Donald Coover, a Kansas cattle breeder and veterinarian, in an interview with the Washington Post. “Anyone who tells you otherwise either doesn’t know what they’re talking about, or they’re not being honest.”
