More Crazy Cows
Well folks, here we go again. ANOTHER cow in the US has been diagnosed with Mad Cow disease. This time there's no blaming Canada, the cow was good ole 100% USDA prime fucked. Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns did a lot of cheast thumping and victory lap running saying that this only proves that the controls work, that the cow was a downer and that there was no chance it would ever have made it into the food supply. Considering that they test such a small percent of beef, it's pretty good odds that there ARE other cases, and that mad cow beef IS making it into our food supply. If you're a betting person, recall the stats that say that each fast food burger is a combo of flesh from up to 100 different cows and you're just asking to not be able to sleep at night wondering if you're at risk or not. So I'd never tell anyone to go veg, but this should give anyone pause about the safety of what they eat... if they do eat meat.
