Videos of sick cows being mistreated by workers at the Westland Meatpacking Co. leads to the largest beef recall in U.S. Department of Agriculture's history. Officials estimate that about 37 million pounds of the 143 million pounds recalled beef went to school programs, but they believe most of the meat probably has already been eaten.

About 150 school districts around the nation have stopped using ground beef from Hallmark Meat Packing Co., which is associated with Westland.

In observance of Presidents Day, the school districts are closed today, but I'm fairly certain letters will be sent to parents regarding school lunch programs.

I'll be working on a story regarding the local school response tomorrow.
