Nebraska Governor Launches ‘Beef Passport’

Associated Press: “Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts ramped up his crusade for the meat industry on Wednesday by endorsing a new ‘beef passport’ program to promote meat eating, a few weeks after he blasted Colorado’s governor for a resolution encouraging its residents to eat less.”

“The Nebraska Beef Passport, managed by the Nebraska Beef Council, features 40 restaurants throughout the state that offer the meat on their menus. It’s modeled after the state-run Nebraska Passport Program, a popular yearly initiative where visitors travel to different businesses, museums, parks and other attractions to collect stamps which they can send in for prizes.”
