but it looks like nobody is buying it. And why should they?

The Wall Street Journal reports:

As part of a summerlong campaign, the Hall of Fame pitcher has his picture in the meat aisles at major grocery stores under the slogan “Beef makes you strong!” Mr. Ryan threw out a ceremonial first pitch during a baseball game in Chiba, a Tokyo suburb, last month. A concession stand called the “American Meat Booth” sold bento boxes filled with American beef and featuring Mr. Ryan’s photo.

This is an ongoing story, more like a stalemate, between U.S.-Japan over beef imports/exports. Yawn…. Anyway, check out the WSJ piece or try some Google searches if you’re not current and want more info. Just thought the headline a quote was worth sharing.
