[QUOTE="Texan, post: 50156, member: 416"] Oldtimer, I don't know what USDA is gonna do. They sure as Hell can't please everybody. They probably have to wonder if they ever please [i]anybody[/i]. Its sure possible that it [i]is[/i] a real safety concern for the Japanese. As many home grown BSE cases as they've had, I'm sure they have different concerns than we do. But I happen to think that it [i]is[/i] just a trade barrier and that USDA and trade negotiators are doing the right thing. If it was really a safety issue for the Japanese, why would their government even [i]talk[/i] about allowing imports without testing? I just don't think we can take the chance on showing the American consumer a two-faced approach to BSE testing. We don't need to have a double standard. The American consumer shouldn't have to worry about whether or not the beef we sell them is as safe as the beef we export. They consume 90% of our product. I'm more concerned with keeping the American consumer satisfied than buying off the Japanese consumer with unnecessary testing! [/QUOTE]
