The 20 month criteria is Japan's criteria, not ours.

What the hell are we supposed to do OT? Tell Japan that they should either take all of our beef or none because their 20 month criteria is not based on sound science? HOW STUPID WOULD THAT BE????

By agreeing to export under 20 month old beef to Japan, WHICH MOST OF IT IS ANYWAY, we are hardly altering sound science. Just because we abide by Japan's criteria does not mean we agree with it. Our science hasn't changed. To the contrary, Japan has seen things our way.

This is such a ridiculous argument proving the depth of your desperation to find something to blame USDA for.

What percentage of what we import from Canada is between 20 and 30 months of age??? I'll bet a very insignificant amount futher detracting from your stupid "double standard" argument.

Your labeling law is a joke because most consumers would never see foreign beef labeled and the law is unenforceable. Something a former law dog should understand. Must have been a Barney Fife type huh? "M" COOL is a typical SYMBOLISM OVER SUBSTANCE - I CAN'T THINK FOR MYSELF classic R-CULT position. MEANINGLESS!
