Mad for U.S. beef, herd heads for Tokyo eatery

The article "Mad for U.S. beef, herd heads for Tokyo eatery" written by CNN. http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/asiapcf/09/18/japan.beef.reut/index.html It is about remove the ban that imports American beef. There is famous fast food, which is called Gyudon that is a bowl of rice topped with beef, in Japan and Yoshinoya, fast-food chain, has returned because of this import.

My opinion

I think Japanese government should not enact ban from the beginning of this event because most of food chain had been damaged financially. Undoubtedly, they had to take care of our health, but they should think about economy first because Japan has not much money. Anyway, I like to eat Gyudon in Yoshinoya, so I hope there will not happen like this event in the future.
