What's The Beef?

According to an article in the ever popular Japan Today, over 70% of Japanese asked will not eat good old American beef when the ban is supposed to be lifted sometime next week (http://www.japantoday.com/e/?content=news&cat=2&id=357557)
62% percent of those refuse based on the safety of American meat, even though the fact is the ban was made after one US cow originally from Canada was found with the disease, the only cow as a matter of fact and compared to 14 found in Japan, one wonders what the safety issue is. On the flip side the poll will be completely disproved the moment Yoshinoya opens its doors with Gyudon real Gyudon back on the menu as Japanese from Hokkaido from Okinawa will line up and devour the sacred dish once again, with a grateful media looking on happy to have something to fill thier news casts with other than tales of where to find good soba resteraunts.......
