Hee, I have an article coming out soon in an SF webzine on the Mad Cow demos in Korea -- don't know if you've been following my posts on them, but there's a lot of concern here, probably largely unfounded, but it's their right to worry. :)
Anyway, Korea also does this, and has been doing it for I don't know how long, but at least six years. One worrisome thing is that all foor garbage ends up together -- meat, vegetables, bread, rotten stuff from the back of the fridge... whatever people don't use. The food garbage bins here are, in many places, horribly filthy, because cleaning them is a horrible idea, and nobody ever bothers to buy new ones. It also becomes pig feed here, as far as I know. The pigs must be used to very spicy food.
Though, oddly, certain pig farms feed their pigs "green tea" -- not sure if that's what the pigs eat, ie. the plant, or drink -- and the meat is sold as "well-being good" (ie. health food).
