  How about buying Taiwan's betel nuts in exchange for your madcow beef?

  I've tried their betel nut (bing lang). I don't think it quite suits American tastes....

  Or maybe it's a passive-aggressive jab at a government that doesn't recognize their legitimacy as a country?

  Passive-aggresssive, or perhaps just aggressive. Either way, Taiwan WAS in the United Nations once, remember? It was ousted in the 70s, maybe having to do with Chiang Kai Shek's drug running and other illegal activities, but in any case, even though Nixon and the US were partly responsible, dozens of other countries had to vote for the ouster of Taiwan; the US didn't decide that by itself.

  COK’s former general counsel Carter Dillard shortly afterward, as did vegan doctor and mad-cow-disease scaremonger Michael Greger. Like Pacelle, these new HSUS hires are all self-described vegans. Their arrival in the world’s richest animal-rights group signals that HSUS is giving anti-meat campaigns a prominent place.

  In October, just a few months before he became an HSUS staffer, Shapiro told the 2004 National Student Animal Rights Conference that “nothing is more important than promoting veganism.” And Shapiro noted during an August 2004 animal-rights seminar (hosted by United Poultry Concerns) that after just 10 weeks at the helm, Pacelle had “already implemented a ‘no animal products in the office’ policy ... You know, they're going to have actual farmed-animal campaigns now, where they're going to be trying to legislate against gestation crates and all this stuff.”

  Don't forget that Dr. Greger and HSUS work in Taiwan and Korea.
