S. Korean homemakers turn up noses to U.S. beef

A survey indicated that 70 percent of South Korean housewives ages 30 to 40 said they would not buy or were disinclined to buy U.S. beef, especially due to fears that it may be contaminated by bovine spongiform encephalapothy.

Korea Gallup conducted the survey, commissioned by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, on 1,213 housewives throughout the country. LINK
