It looks like the beef industry might be making progress in Japan. The Japanese government might be thinking about upping the age limit for imported beef from 20 month to the more generally accepted 30 month age limit. There is still one little hurdle to go through, the Food Safety Commission, and there is no guarantee they will approve, but I feel it looks like things are moving in the right direction. That's good to see after the latest South Korean fiasco.
I think it's the end of progress if you stand still and think of what you've done in the past. I keep on. Leslie Caron

Step Forward
Beef trade with Japan has taken a big step forward. They have given 35 beef plants a clean bill of health which will stop 100% inspections of imports in Japan and they will scale back to only random checks. This is a good step, now to work on getting them to accept something other than boneless beef to be imported. Sometimes things have to proceed one step at a time and this is one of them. Hopefully some slaughter plant won't screw up and shipo the wrong thing to Japan and screw this all up. We'll see.
I'm just taking one step at a time. I could zigzag one way, but it's not usually on purpose. Beck
