Of course, that wouldn't affect NYC or HK.
I must have missed the news of the latest beef controversy. It is not inconceivable that I was chowing down on a Yoshinoya gyuudon when the news broke.

Let's see... As recent as April, Yoshinoya received a shipment of American beef with spinal column, where BSE festers in infected cows. Yoshinoya decided not to use that batch of beef, and they emphasized their beef is safe.
