Carbon Monoxide
2008-04-03
In today’s world, seeing is not believing –– at least not when it comes to meat. Because of an ill–thought decision by our Food and Drug Administration, the meat industry was allowed to inject the toxic gas carbon monoxide into your ground beef’s packaging. The gas kept the meat red and fresh looking long after it had already spoiled, and when you ate it (past its sell–by date; you looked at that, didn’t you?) you also consumed the bacterial condoplex that had sprung up in the interim.
Carne bovina brasiliana
2007-11-30
A prima vista, la carne bovina proveniente dal Brasile potrebbe sembrare appetibile nel sapore e conveniente nel prezzo. Stanno tuttavia emergendo una serie di validi motivi che rendono consigliabile l’imposizione di un divieto d’importazione nell’Unione Europea. Nonostante un’imposta doganale del 176%, il prezzo al mercato della carne bovina brasiliana rimane talmente basso che gli allevatori di bovini in Irlanda, Scozia, Galles, Italia e in altri paesi vedono minacciata la propria esistenza.
Boeuf brésilien
2007-11-30
Le boeuf provenant du Brésil peut avoir bon goût et un prix attractif, mais les raisons d’en interdire l’importation dans l’Union européenne s’accroissent. Malgré un tarif douanier de 176% sur le boeuf brésilien, les producteurs d’Irlande, d’Ecosse, des Pays de Galles, d’Italie et d’ailleurs disent que la viande importée reste toujours meilleur marché que celle produite localement et qu’ils sont menacés de mettre la clé sous la porte.
Billiges Rindfleisch aus Brasilien
2007-11-30
Aus Brasilien importiertes Rindfleisch mag vielleicht gut schmecken und preislich günstig sein. In letzter Zeit häufen sich jedoch triftige Argumente, die das Verhängen eines Importverbots für brasilanisches Rindfleisch in die EU als angebracht erscheinen lassen. Trotz eines heute bestehenden Einfuhrzolles von 176%, droht aus Brasilien importiertes Rindfleisch die Lebensgrundlage europäischer Rindzüchter, namentlich in Irland, Schottland, Wales und Italien, zu untergraben.
The Beef with Brazilian Beef
2007-11-30
Beef from Brazil may taste fine and have an attractive price, but the reasons to ban it from being imported into the European Union are beginning to mount. Despite the EU’s 176 percent tariff on Brazilian beef, cattle farmers in Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Italy and elsewhere say the imported meat is still so cheap that it threatens to put them out of business.
