| Yeah. This is the kind of thing that can hit almost any meat packer if you skimp. Lysteria is a pretty common bacteria. I think most humans have it on their skin as a matter of course. Well, let's hope the Korean meat packers are uber clean. |

| If it happened in America you can be sure MBC would put it in the headlines. |

| Why would there be an outcry? No meat packed in Canada gets exported here - except for certain teachers, of course. |

If it happened in America, according to laws being passed right now, all meat imports from that country would be automatically stopped for several months, and not allowed to continued until approved by the Korean gov't.
Forces are working hard for this exact circumstance -- hoping to keep meat from the USA bogged-down in an eternal mess of government debate -- probably over any small technicality they can come up with (IE: minute bone chips). |

If Canadians want to get their panties in a bunch over something ELSE, try the recent Prison Break in Saskatchewan-one of the escapees, of which ALL are considered very dangerous, cannot be identified because he was convicted as a Young Offender.
Nice criminal justice system, Canada! |

There shouldn't be. Yet 12 people died from eating meat. It should give Koreans pause to realize that no one here has died from American beef, despite 100 days of protests, people setting themselves on fire, etc.. |

| I still fail to understand how 12 people dying from meat in Canada has anything to do with life in Korea, and why in the title to your thread you wrote "no outcry here?" for something that has absolutely nothing to do with Korea. |

People setting themselves on fire? Did anyone actually die in these protests? Anyone know where we can find out how many people died or were injured severely in these protests? Just curious. |

Yep, some crazy sole set himself on fire.

I believe there was another one in June, but of course, much of the news about it has been erased.
And this is a good read:
