Hey! Does anyone else know or care that the entire European Union does not accept USA beef products?  The EU CONSIDERS AMERICAN BEEF TOO TOXIC TO SELL!  Of course, there are political factors weighing in to this policy, but consider the fact that ANY burger in EU is probably safer to east than the prime rib on your plate.

Why isn't there any legislation about this?  Is it because the big beef producers have no need for the EU market?  Or is it something else?
