Speaking of seafood, many in the world contribute to depletion of stocks. Even
the common tuna is on the decline.

No, you can read it readily enough for yourself. It's no secret, in English at
least.

No, beef and cattle feed from countries with confirmed BSE are banned in Japan,
while Japanese beef continues to be promoted as perfectly safe. FINDING
infected cattle is offered as proof of how safe and effective the Japanese
system is. Japan does NOT cull millions of head of cattle as in Europe. We
don't even know so far that more than the nine cows in Japan with BSE have not
been contaminated in the course of slaughter or processing, because the same
tools and blades were of course used on other cows as well. So the infected cow
in Fukuyama was destroyed. That's nice. How about all the other cows processed
at that time, and on that day before cleaning?
