Here’s the Beef!
Monday, November 7th, 2005Brazilian president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, feted George and Laura Bush at his residence for an outdoor Brazilian-style barbecue. The menu included several premium cuts of beef, as well as lamb, oxtail and cheese. Brazil’s beef exports have been hurt recently due to an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease that has led more than 50 countries to suspend their imports. By serving Brazilian beef to Mr. Bush, Mr. da Silva was saying that there is no cause for the rest of the world to be alarmed.
It’s Okay for George to eat tainted beef, he already has foot-in-mouth disease.
