I didn't know dioxin was a seasonal flavoring for beef....

(Via Americablog), Dioxin found in beef sent to South Korea. So what are they making us eat?

"South Korea has asked the United States to explain why a shipment of American beef rejected for having banned bone fragments also contained unacceptable levels of the toxic chemical dioxin, an official said Friday.

The discovery was the latest bad news for the U.S. cattle industry in South Korea, already dealing with the rejection of three recent shipments of beef for including banned bone fragments, which South Korea fears could potentially harbor mad cow disease."

You notice what the Department of Agriculture does? They criticize South Korea for rejecting the beef and ask to see their testing methodology. How dare they say no to mad cow flavored with dioxin!

Sounds like Bush is running the department, doesn't it?

After all the recent incidents with spinach, green onions and/or lettuce, I can neither gloat nor sigh relief. And there's probably dioxin in the vegetables, too.

Do you think we could ship Bush to South Korea? or is he too toxic to export?

Bush toxic? Two words: mad cow.
