Hardly!  Japan is not accepting U.S. beef CURRENTLY because an East Coast packer exported beef products/by products that were restricted by Japan.

There's no guessing why Japan isn't taking our beef currently.   Only speculation on the part of conspiracy theorists like you.

My point is that Japan was accepting untested U.S. beef before an east coast packer violated our agreement with Japan.

This is such a stupid argument.

#1.  NOBODY EVER PROVIDED PROOF THAT THE JAPANESE GOVERNMENT WOULD HAVE EVER ALLOWED BSE TESTED BEEF FROM THE U.S. 

PURE SPECULATION ON YOUR PART!!!!!!!!!!

Without governmental approvement and an agreement, this point is moot as most of your stupid points are.

#2.  The only reason we are not sending untested beef to the Japanese AT THIS MOMENT, is because an east coast packer violated our agreement on restricted materials to Japan.

#3.  Japan is not currently asking for tested beef ARE THEY???  More proof of just how stupid your argument is.

#4.  WE WERE ALREADY SHIPPING BEEF TO JAPAN WITHOUT TESTING.

You keep beating the same empty sounding drum over, and over, and the industry has long since passed you by.

Neither USDA blamer, it's incompetance on the part of the packer that sent restricted products.
