The Hidden Dangers of Food: From Mad Cow Scandal to Contaminated Water

During the mad cow scandal in 2008, an actress said, “If you eat U.S. beef, you put potassium cyanide in your mouth.” With that one word, she suddenly came into the limelight. A video of her eating a hamburger in Las Vegas sparked controversy. She explained that it was taken before the mad cow disease problem. She later learned that she had put in her mouth more dangerous food than potassium cyanide. How anxious she must have been during her 10-year incubation period.

During the mad cow scandal in 2008, an actress said, “If you eat U.S. beef, you put potassium cyanide in your mouth.” With that one word, she suddenly came into the spotlight. A video of her eating a hamburger in Las Vegas sparked controversy. She explained that it was taken before the mad cow disease problem. She later learned that she had put in her mouth more dangerous food than potassium cyanide. How anxious she must have been during her ten years of incubation. She overcame those fearful years by writing a memorial letter to former Seoul mayor Park Won-soon and supporting Rep. Yoon Mi-hyang’s campaign.

A former Minister of Agriculture and Forestry under the Kim Dae-jung administration said, “If you want to eat American beef, let’s boil chicken infected with bird flu.” Three years later, it was revealed that he traveled to the United States while eating hamburgers. “Beef sold in the U.S. is less than 20 months old, so it is safer than beef imported from South Korea that is over 30 months old,” the person said. Korean beef that we eat and American beef that Americans eat are fine, but only American beef that Korea imports is dangerous. Even the safety of food is exquisitely adjusted according to political conflicts.

It was only revealed that the two of them accidentally ate American hamburgers. In 2021 and 2022, South Korea will become the world’s largest importer of US beef. As I secretly watched the customers eating American beef grilled at a restaurant, I thought to myself. “They were the people who lit candles at Gwanghwamun and shouted, ‘I’m going to die with a hole in my brain,'” he said.

For the first time in 15 years, the fear marketing method of “if you eat American beef” is being parodied as “if you drink contaminated water from Fukushima…”. A Democrat lawmaker said, “I’d rather eat ☓ (a slang term for feces).” When I explained that the water released from Fukushima would not threaten South Korea’s maritime safety, I said, “Then you guys should drink.”

Democrats are trying to live without seafood from now on. Since the seas of South Korea are said to be full of radiation, the fish caught there must also be poisonous. I said it was more harmful than human feces, so of course I couldn’t eat it. They are clamoring to profit from the general election, but I want to know how long their seafood fasting will last.

Mad cow disease was a matter of life and death depending on the nationality of the beef, but the contaminated water demonstration has no borders. The DPJ claims that all marine products, regardless of whether they come from Japan or South Korea, are full of cesium. And yet, if they put a fish in their mouth, they would deny the words they spit.

Mad cow disease provided an excuse for safety measures like banning animal feed and removing hazardous materials to counteract such hoaxes. In the case of Fukushima, there is no such way out. The DPJ branded the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)’s decision to approve the release of contaminated water as a “empty report,” and treated experts who said it was okay to drink contaminated water as “moggles.” After profiting from the contaminated water hoax, he himself cut the rope to escape.

It’s not a problem that can be solved in a year or two. 1,320,000 tons of contaminated water in Fukushima is stored in 1,066 tanks. Japan plans to release 120 tons per day for 30 years. The polluted water that flows out to the Pacific Ocean is expected to flow into the sea around South Korea in four to five years after making a long circuit along the ocean currents via Alaska, California, and Hawaii. As time passes, the cumulative value of the discharged amount increases. The DPJ claims that the concentration of radioactive materials in the waters of the Korean peninsula will gradually increase. Thirty years from now, the last contaminated water will reach the Korean peninsula in 2057 or 2058. Lee Jae-myung, who was born in 1964, is about to turn 90 years old.

Lee Jae-myung’s family ordered 10 servings of sushi at a time. If it wasn’t for secret elections, one person in a family of four would have eaten more than two servings. I can’t imagine such a family going without fish for the next 35 years. There are two solutions. First, Lee Jae-myung should retract his remarks. Lee said, “When I told Park Geun-hye, whom I respect, I thought he really respected me. He also promised to waive his immunity from arrest in his presidential election campaign pledges and twice in his speeches to the National Assembly, but it ended up as a stopgap measure.

Secondly, there is also a method of pretending to spit out “cesium-contaminated fish” on the front and secretly eating it behind the scenes. It is said that 10 days is the limit of fasting if done properly, but many fighters in the leftist camp have returned to normal life without eating for tens of days. The Democratic Party’s vice chairman of the National Assembly exchanged plans for a trip to Japan via cell phone email on the day the denunciation of Japan was passed. The letter contained information about a tourist spot with “a small number of Korean tourists.” Lee Jae-myung will probably be wondering where that is.
