That didn't take long.

Geez. One cow. How 'bout we embargo all Toyotas the minute one airbag fails to deploy?

[Prodigal Son]

Hmmm. I read earlier that shares of McDonald's had already dropped in the US. People go into panic mode so easily these days. No wonder its so easy for the gov't to herd them like cattle.

[RugerM77]

I am a cattle producer and we (The US) has set a harsh standard in our treatment of Canadian cattle after their one case. I think and thought at the time we were making a mistake that could come back and bite us.

[Peace will be here soon]

Add South Korea to that list as well. Just announced on MSNBC.

Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from this list.
I don't get offended if you want to be removed.

Shocking that they aren't recalling the beef from the infected cow. I assume it ends up in some bigger lot of meat that woudl be a pain to recall, but still. For PR reasons alone it is worth it to clean this up quick. Hiding the problem, and playing it down is the total wrong approach.

Looks like the price of chicken will be going up. I look forward to eating more steak.

What's the big fuss about - mad cow disease doesn't do anything that sitting in front of a TeeVee all night doesn't do.

[nmh]

Yeah and we, the U.S. are supposed to EAT the part not contaminated? LOL! How come England DESTROYED the ENTIRE animal when it was determine d to HAVE mad cow disease.

Forget beef for a long time!

"Japan is the number one export market for US beef, accounting for 32 per cent"

I think those juicy Kobe steaks at my local market are about to get a lot cheaper.

Shitake mushrooms? Check!
Sweet Bermuda onions? Check!
Garlic? Check!
Coarse ground black pepper? Check!

Let's roll!

[Bluntpoint]

They are such small people, how much beef can these tiny Japanese possibly eat?

[Cronos]

The Japanese govt. is safeguarding it's citizens. we did ban British beef when Mad C D broke out there.
