...now I'm just disgusted

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States on Friday offered needy countries more than 330,000 packaged meals donated by Britain to feed Hurricane Katrina victims but rejected due to a U.S. ban on British beef.

State Department spokesman Adam Ereli said the "Meals Ready to Eat," or MREs, had been held in a warehouse in Little Rock, Arkansas, for more than a month after U.S. Agriculture Department officials said they could not be distributed in the United States because they contained British beef products.

-because obviously all British beef is diseased and they sent it to the US. Kudos to the American governement for protecting the hungry victims from the evil British food. I think maybe British cuisine has improved somewhat over the years.
