Re-opening the Japanese market to American beef is a hell of a lot more important for the US beef industry than seeing Canadian beef go through some American slaughterhouses, so I wouldn't hold my breath on seeing these restrictions lifted if I was a Canuck...

The Japanese are full of ****. They've already had a dozen BSE cases of their own, so they can go **** themselves about being *****es closing down their borders.

I'm just glad I am a vegeterrian.

The chances of getting BSE from eating meat even in the UK were never more than remote

They're microscopic outside Europe.

I agree completely. The fact that the Japanese are being hyprocritical *****es on this issue doesn't change the position the US is in, though...

Meat packing hasn't been a majority union industry in years. It's now a low wage industry using immigrant labor or at least according to a Time magazine article a few years back.

I think he meant Canadian unions.

I've gained about five pounds since I went off the diet. I lost thirty, so I'm net twenty-five down.

It was a Canadian cow brought to the US for slaughter. It was caught be monitors.

I am sure that there were cases found on US farms.

You don't starve on Atkins. Far from it. You're full most of the time, heck, you're satiated. It was a great diet, but it costs money. When I have a job, I'm going back on it.

I'd recommend doing the South Beach diet instead. It's far better for you and for maintaining weight loss, as it presents a realistic diet one can stick with. I had two coworkers in NY who went on it and had tremendous success. I was worried they were unhealthy, but when I read up on it, the diet seems very sensible and easy.

The name is stupid, unfortunately, as it brings to mind a celebrity fad diet. But it's actually based on much sounder principles than Atkins appears to be.

I've been considering it, actually, Boris.

IIRC, they just found their first case of Mad Cow not linked to Canadian stock.
