A recent recall of 10 million pounds of meat by Bruce Pack due to "potential" listeria contamination is cited as an atypical and proactive move. Karen Kingston explains that the CDC and FDA are increasingly using customer loyalty programs to track food purchases and potentially enforce quarantines. The segment warns that these recalls are being done without confirmed reports of illness to establish control.

Robert Barnes discusses his representation of Amos Miller, an Amish farmer targeted by the USDA for selling raw dairy and organic meat through a private membership association. Barnes claims the government is attempting to imprison Miller and bankrupt his family to eliminate competition for big-agriculture interests like Bill Gates. He notes that there are no consumer complaints against Miller, making the USDA's pursuit purely political.
