Japan cuts off US beef imports again

What's wrong with our beef? We eat your sushi.

Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi on Friday said Japan will completely halt imports of U.S. beef after a recent shipment was found that may contain material considered at risk for mad cow disease.

Wouldn't all beef technically be "at risk" for mad cow disease?

The deal that allowed the resumption of U.S. imports was limited to meat from cows aged 20 months or younger. The agreement excluded spines, brains, bone marrow and other parts of the cow thought to be at particularly high risk of containing mad cow disease.

We gave them a cow spine or something didn't we. Well I guess this is good news if you're a cow. And that's the kind of news I'm dedicated to giving you out there, unbias, fair and balanced regardless of age, sex, religion or species.

Personally, I could give two shits if Japan wants to eat our beef.
