Thai Cattle Farmers Protest Proposed Import of US Hormone-Treated Beef
I have had US beef several times. It was decent and tasty, but usually hormone treated to artificially stimulate growth. That's not for me, I prefer my meat natural, non hormone treated or anti-biotic riddled because they are kept in confined closed pens. I prefer Aussie beef, grass fed and allowed to roam free, not stuffed full or hormones and antibiotics. Or British beef - Angus or Hereford. Again, not stuffed full of growth hormones or antibiotics. It is leaner but more natural. And I prefer my chicken unchlorinated. I know it hurts your nationalist pride but the US has some of the lowest food standards in the western world. Your food products are therefore generally inferior, no matter how tender and juicy they might be when you put them in your mouth. And Japanese beef dumps all over British, Australian and especially US beef. If you have ever had Kobe beef in Japan you would know. And yes, Thai beef is generally tough but they do have quality produce too. Pon Yang Kham beef from Sakon Nakhon has been compared to Kobe beef for texture and marbling. I haven't tried it but it looks amazing and I have family there so will try on my next trip. Sorry, the US is just chemical laden crap for most of their food. -

Would you, even for free, ride Bozos's giant rocket into "space"?
It's OK for you to say this in the comments section, I guess. But, since this is a FAMILY site, I would suggest that you do not include that word in any Headline of a Topic on TV. -

Thai Cattle Farmers Protest Proposed Import of US Hormone-Treated Beef
That is a difficult option. On a direct retail level, yes it could be possible, provided that the beef is labeled as sourced from the USA, but that is not where the sales are made. The USA beef would most likely be used by food processors and restaurant chains who do not have to declare their beef source. How would a consumer know the origin of the hamburger that is served up? Some restaurant chains have a clever advertising approach, emphasizing "Australian" beef when referring to some item menus, but with no mention on other items. The consumer doesn't know the origin. It could be Brazilian or Argentinian sourced. The Thai people would have to rely on the monopoly of food processors to declare their meat origins. I doubt that will happen. It is not done now.
