More power to the Koreans. Maybe they will force the United States to at least allow the testing of US Beef for BSE. I now only eat beef when I am a guest of someone and they are only serving beef.

I use to eat beef almost everyday, but since the mad cow in the USA and what I think was a cover up, I have avoided beef. I was glad to see that someone is radiating beef. Will this kill the Prions that cause BSE?
Email I received from Omaha Steaks on: 02/12/2007 05:46
Omaha Steaks is only irradiating our burgers and ground beef. And unfortunately, irradiation will not kill the Prions that cause BSE.
If you have any further questions, please let me know.

When will Omaha Steaks start 100% testing for the Prions that cause BSE?
Email I received from Omaha Steaks on: 02/12/2007 13:03
Omaha Steaks requires our suppliers to remove central nervous tissue (where prions are found) on raw material sold to Omaha Steaks. Unfortunately, USDA currently bans voluntary BSE testing. The USDA has sole authority to control the access and the use of the test kits needed to perform the BSE testing.
Email I sent to US Senator Patty Murray on: 02/12/2007 14:15
Why is the USDA allowed to put the citizens of the United States at Risk?
This Email had the above Email Messages included.
I also sent the above message to my Representative, other Senator and the President.
Email Congress and tell them:
The Federal Government is supposed to protect its citizens, yet it continues to allow the USDA to forbid companies from testing for BSE. What is the USDA hiding?
TELL THE USDA THAT ANY COMPANY THAT WANTS TO TEST FOR BSE MUST BE ALLOWED TO DO SO!!!
