Chris, > I've got to say, that's the biggest demonstration I've ever seen over imported meat! I was hoping you'd shed some light on it. To me, it's basic fearmongering, but then again, I've been living here most of my life so I might be biased. I'll never forget when I went to Korea as a child. My grandmother, knowing how much of a meat eater I was, would serve it every single meal, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It was expensive, I learned later, but that didn't stop her from spoiling her overseas grandson, of course. Beef is quite a luxury even now that South Korea has reached First World status. Most Koreans can do without it, unlike us Americans. Hence with the new conservative president comes in and opens up the beef market to Americans, Koreans wonder why. That leaves the field wide open to opposition leaders who claim that the president will take it up the ass from Americans. Hillarity ensues, and President Lee Myung-Bak finds himself with lower approval numbers than Bush. Tenchusatsu
