Only the parts of your oatmeal that are oats have to be 100% Pure Oats. The parts that are BSE-riddled beef don't have to be 100% Pure Oats at all, because they're not oats. Why should we hold BSE-riddled beef to the same standards as oats? The consumers just want the oatmeal and have no patience for such careless equivalences. -- G.
