In this article it talks about meat in the US and Taiwan. The beef in the US has ractopamine in it. Taiwan has a policy against chemical that harm people. The US states that ractopamine is not harmful for humans. Only for beef, the government says there will be a partial ban. The views of this subject is interesting.

So are there any studies showing ractopamine is dangerous? I wonder if beef is a delicacy in Taiwan if it has to be imported from the US; the price after import must be high.
ReplyDeleteI actually remember there was a time on my mission where a few Taiwanese complained to me about having to import meat from the US. They felt like we (the US) bullied them into importing it.
