Beef import is not a political issue, but it is a health issue

Number of countries including Japan and South Korea have stopped importing beef from US about a year ago, and they have not opened the market since then. Some people apparently believe that this is a political issue, but this is really a health issue. Beef production in US has changed radically for the last 20 years or so, and it has created number of health problems. It is actually surprising that it has taken so long for beef importers to stop importing beef from US.
