The US has always had cows present in the country with Mad Cow disease. The catch is that none of the cows in the US with Mad Cow disease have ever transmitted the disease to humans. It's always come from other places. Um let me think ah oh yeah Canada 
I could be wrong on this, but this is the way I remember it. |

| This was a dairy cow. I don't think it will be slaughtered for meat. |

I'm sure we'll have a Korean news article in a few hours. |

A Canadian cow transmitted MCD to a human?
Don't recall. |

There will still be a massive, media-hysteria-circus over this... in Korea, I mean. |

| The question now becomes how it got the disease. If they cannot find a link, then it could be from the cow feed, which usually contains cow meat protein (yes, cows are forced to be cannibals), but is not supposed to be made with high-risk parts which could be diseased. |

Korea's agriculture ministry is considering halting imports of U.S. beef following reports of a confirmed case of mad cow disease discovered in California.
In the meantime, Lotte Mart and Lotte Department Store has already decided to temporarily halt the sale of US beef.

Don't matter. I buy Australian anyway |

I bought Hanwoo.
I gave in one day and thought I'd see what all the hype was about.
265 grammes of a cut the Korean butcher in the normal local supermarket said was 'steak cut.'
Cost me best part of 20,000 won.
The hype is justified folks.
That is some damned fine steak and beats the pants off of any Ozzie or US beef I've had from lotte mart etc and as good as I've had in decent foriegn restaurants / diners in SK, Japan, China etc...
But yeah, you have to be willing to pay around 18,000 for an 8oz steak. You gets what you pay for. |

One of my buddies is a chef (American) and he agrees. That said, in my opinion (and his) most people don't have the palette to really be able to tell the difference. |

I have no qualms with Hanwoo. It tastes just fine. I think some people, and keep in mind that I'm American, get a little too nationalistic about things like beef. That's particularly true in the case of Hanwoo, and in many cases true with a portion of Americans who seem to constantly be on the defensive here.
Regarding lower quality imported beef at Lottemart, etc., I find that you need to request specific fresh cuts from the butcher to get anything halfway decent from the US or Australia. The pre-packaged stuff they have out is generally not what would be considered "steak" anyway. |

I'd say he's right because I don't know the difference. If I can't really taste the difference, why pay more for it? Maybe I'll have to sit down one day and really savor it. |

It's funny. A couple months ago or so it was being reported back here in Canada that we had finally resumed beef exports to Korea. I figured this would reignite the protests in Seoul that took place a few years ago. So then I went to the Korean Herald and Korean Times online and found a couple blurbs about it after a couple days. That was it! Nothing on Dave's. Nothing more reported in the paper. Smooth sailing.
I believe the whole ruckus from a few years ago started after a calf, or cow in the US was found to be infected with mad cow. The bovine was imported from Canada.
Yet, no big deal this time. Just goes to show that all the fuss was mass hysteria and anti-Americanism. |

The ruckus was caused by PD Notebook - yellow journalism. If they ran a story on Canadian beef (or any topic for that matter), you'd see the same protests as 2008. |
