Willing

I see that <a href="http://www.brownfieldnetwork.com/gestalt/go.cfm?objectid=682D236E-DC90-7633-9DC0437FCCCD3387">South Korean consumers are willing to buy US Beef</a>. It's just the politicians are trying to keep it from happening. I notice when US beef was offered in Japan the consumer was willing to buy it to. The politicians from these countries are reading their consumers wrong and maybe should open up the beef trade a little more. I note that the 20 month Japan rule is in a little jeopardy now since they are having trouble <a href="http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/T267692.htm">verifying that these young cases of <acronym title="Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy">BSE</acronym> in Japan really happened</a>. Did they concoct them to stifle beef trade with the US? Interesting thought.<br />n<br />nI find it interesting that consumers in both Japan and South Korea are willing to buy US beef but the politicians are keeping it out. Typical, isn't it. I just wonder if the same holds true for the US? In all truthfulness I don't really want to ask this question but in fairness, I have to. Would US consumers be willing to eat Canadian beef after the latest <acronym title="Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy">BSE</acronym> case but the <a href="http://www.brownfieldnetwork.com/gestalt/go.cfm?objectid=5379CB12-9D7F-27AF-B5A8758C2DD8E162">politicians are bound and determined to stop it</a>? That would be a scary poll to see.<br />n<br />n<strong>It is not fair to ask of others what you are not willing to do yourself. Eleanor Roosevelt </strong>
