My wife was riding in a taxi and the driver started talking about the US beef issue. He more or less said the same things that most of us have talked about. If people don’t want it, don’t eat it. My wife explained her frustration that people in her workplace talked about the dangers of US beef, even while she pointed out that there was not US beef here, yet, and the Avian flu was a much closer and credible threat.

The driver smiled and said not to fret. He said he knew a lot of people that felt the same way they did, they just kept quiet because they know they are right. Only the misguided ones are loud because they want to push their lie so that their own lie seems less false.

It made her day. And when she told me, I grilled us a steak dinner with a couple of Miller Lites.

American Cattle Farmers are paid at the most $1.30 per pound for cattle on the hoof 16-30 months old and about $1.55 per pound for younger cattle.

Korean Cattle Farmers are paid $4.50 per pound for cattle on the hoof (I don’t know how old the cattle are).

If I’m the only person selling apples and I get $4.50 per apple and someone comes along and sells apples for $1.50 - I guess I would be mad too and say their apples have a variant of Japanese-B-encephalitis.
