What's your beef?

So let me see if i understand this. The US has a case of Mad Cow in the system in December of 2003, prompting most of the countries that we sell beef to, to cut us off. Japan especially, which bought almost a billion and a half dollars worth of dead cows in 03.

It takes us two years to get the Japanese, not to mention the Koreans, Singapore, and Hong Kong, to start buying US beef again.

So what do we do?

We ship some veal with the spinal columns still attached in direct violation of our trade agreement. Less than 6 weeks after we reopen the market.

And our excuse is, we sell that product domestically, to our own people.

Jesus Christ, i'm giving up beef again.
