[QUOTE="Bez>, post: 402290, member: 6007"] Once again you miss my point. Let me refresh your memory - I am a supporter of COOL - I just do not believe it possible to implement. You look at beef but I look at the whole picture. Campbells soup is American - yet they import all sorts of veggies. I wonder how you will decide on ice cream? It has all sorts of imported ingredients. Even plain old hot chocolate has imported cocoa in it - I wonder how they will dictate whether or not it is a home grown product. Plus the cost! Additional paperwork - and we all know how gov paperwork grows, plus additional labelling and printing costs - all of course passed on to the consumer. Plus the new regulatory bodies, plus the legal issues - plus, plus, plus ...... Beef is a simple matter - but there are complications far beyond what you see. As for Korea - have you ever been there? The fact is there is NOT a patriotic market in Korea. In other words, they are not a people that believe they should buy Korea first. They are strong believers in "imported" is best. Therefore it is a marketers dream come true - COOL simply brings to the attention of all that THIS FOOD IS BEST - it is after all IMPORTED. You can go to any country in the world and find examples of this "supposedly home grown" - but that is usually done to avoid certain taxation and import duty issues. Heck, even most of your imported honey gets blended with U.S. grown and all of it is called U.S. #1 honey - very similar to here in my country. I believe Korea is quite a different scenario from what you believe or desire. I know where you are coming from and despite your bull headedness, I admire your tenacity. However at our level we need to formulate the answers that will satisfy the politician before we will ever see what you want. We also need to satisfy the distributor - or even more jobs will go offshore. In all honesty I expect to be in the ground before I see SUBSTANTIAL changes. Bez> [/QUOTE]
