Thousands of Brazilians took to the streets Thursday in massive protest to try to show the rest of the world... They roasted and ate 22,000 pounds of beef on a giant barbecue to prove the beef is safe. Now tell me: Who knows how to protest?? Even our protests we're not serious Lats year Putin visited Brazil. A champion of a Russian campaign against alcohoolism, and at that time Brazil was trying to persuade Russia the beef was safe. The Russian press photographed Putin eating a barbecue and drinking a huge caipirinha with Brazilian President Lula!!! Early december I’ll arrive Curitiba and will do my patriotic duty and will protest too, eating a huge barbecue and since I will be at it, and I like ethanol I will emulate Putin and will drink a huge caipirinha... Thousands Stage Mass Barbecue in Brazil Staff and agencies 27 October, 2005 1 hour, 13 minutes ago SAO PAULO, Brazil - Thousands of Brazilians took to the streets Thursday to try to show the rest of the world that Brazilian beef is safe — by roasting and eating 22,000 pounds of it. To protest the ban, about 6,000 people gathered for the giant barbecue on a closed-off street in front of the Sao Paulo headquarters of Forca Sindical, Brazil‘s second-largest organization representing unionized workers. Brazil has the world‘s largest commercial cattle herd, estimated at 190 million head, and is the world‘s leading beef exporter by volume. Exports this year had been expected to bring in at least $3 billion before the ban, according to the Brazilian Beef Exporters Association. Foot-and-mouth disease, which also strikes sheep, pigs and goats, is a highly contagious viral illness that can be spread through minimal contact with infected animals, farm equipment or meat.
