U.S. Cattle Group Wants Trump’s Help to Change South Korea’s Beef Regulations
If the Korean government changes this regulation will this lead to the Korean leftists to start another mad cow crisis like what happened in 2008?:
The U.S. nationwide cattlemen’s group asked the Trump administration Tuesday to help lift South Korea’s import ban on American beef from cattle aged 30 months or older, noting that similar curbs have been lifted in China, Japan and Taiwan.
The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) sent its comments to U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) Jamieson Greer as the USTR has requested those comments to “assist in reviewing and identifying unfair trade practices, and initiating all necessary actions to investigate harm from non-reciprocal arrangements.”
The age restriction on U.S. beef was put in place in 2008 amid fears over mad cow disease, or bovine spongiform encephalopathy.
You can read more at the link, but the violent mad cow riots in 2008 has to rank up there as one of the most ridiculous anti-US protests ever in Korea. The 2000 Yongsan Water Dumping Incident protests are probably the only ones more ridiculous than the mad cow riots.
So why not just ship beef younger than 30 months? Probably because they want to ship beef from old cattle that’s fit for only pet foods. American greed has no bounds. In the US, American consumers get beef aged from one to two years, no more than 24 months. They want to unload dead cattle not fit for human consumption on Asian countries.
Do you know what’s truly ridiculous? The US invasion of their allies, Canada and Greenland in the next 6 months to 18 months. First, destabilize these countries, then invade, and put the US billionaire oligarchs in charge of these two countries. What is ridiculous is that this is not a joke as everyone dismisses it as. But according to a US military newsletter, it’s true. That mad cow protest has nothing on these ridiculous American MAGAS who support this crazy looney toon Orange orangutang President.

“Do you know what’s truly ridiculous?”
Yeah, your second paragraph. Your first one was fairly well reasoned, minus the hyperbole. Then you go off the rails with your ranting non-sequitur in the second paragraph.
Commies don’t want the proles eating beef… They want that reserved for themselves…

Why isn’t RFK jr complaining about problems with the beef industry?
Because he’s a spokesperson for the US Beef Industry, of course!

This clearly shows the hypocrisy and conflict of interest that is evident among extreme right wing wackos.
They’ll claim to care about the people, but when their business interests and profits are on the line, their profits always come before the well-being of others.
