US Beef Makes Strides

<a href="http://www.chinapost.com.tw/headlines/47189.htm" >Major Japanese supermarket chain puts US beef back on its shelves</a><br />n<br />n<blockquote>Major Japanese supermarket chain Ito-Yokado Co. brought American beef back to its shelves Friday, about 3 1/2 years after sales were halted in the wake of the first U.S. case of mad cow disease, a parent company spokesman said.<br />n<br />nU.S. beef went back on sale at 20 Ito-Yokado stores, mostly in the Tokyo area, said Shirotake Henmi, spokesman for giant Japanese retailer Seven &amp; I Holdings Co. </blockquote><br />n<br />nI like to see this. Slow and steady wins the race. Slowly build the Japanese market up again for US beef and this will help beef producers. Just opening the market doesn't guarantee it will magically transform into the large market it was before. It takes time to do that and this shows that. Good tasting, high quality beef, which the US excels at, will finish the job.<br />n<br />n<strong>Anyone who wants to sell you overnight success or wealth is not interested in your success; they are interested in your money.
