We've cut way back on our beef consumption due to the outrageous prices. If the prices drop significantly, we will buy more. One possible BSE case does not scare me. BTW, Japan has already banned US beef imports. WE should find a Japanese export of similar value to throw a ban on.

We have, too. But prices of pork and chicken are going to spike, as well.

Spam, anyone? It isn't really meat - it's some sort of jellied petroleum product.
