The real reason for the problem is pork, as in "pork barrel."
Someone is going to make a lot of money on this beef. Two points to be aware of: 1) The Canadian press is reporting that beef exports from India are expected to surge 30 per cent this year, allowing it to capture a quarter of the worlds market: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/from-city-street-to-steakhouse-inside-indias-bullish-beef-market/article9103361/ 2) Your Kenyan brothers and sisters are protesting the greed of their MP's today by releasing pigs and blood into the streets of Nairobi. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/africa/graffitied-pigs-and-buckets-of-blood-on-the-streets-of-nairobi-as-protests-over-mps-pay-continue-8616264.html Follow the money. Always follow the money. Mervyn
