Yeah, I think your confusing Mad Cow Disease with Foot and Mouth Disease. They are two completely different things. Interesting article in any case. | ||

Yep .. foot and mouth caused the closure of a lot of stuff all around Europe last summer. | ||

I don't know about all you, but I usually eat steers, not milk cows... | ||

...and Mad Cow doesn't affect the muscle, just the brain and nervous system. And I ain't eating those parts! BTW It can take years before the animal shows signs. And it is not passed from cow to cow. | ||

You would be suprised what gets thrown in the grinder at the meat plant. Ever get Ponhowse or Scraple? What about Beef Hot Dogs? | ||

Dirty water dogs and Mystery Meat on a stick is part of a New York Lunch almost daily and, as long as your alcohol consumption is kept at a high rate, we're fine! Eat, drink, and be merry! | ||

My Grandfather and my Uncle spent their entire working lives in the meat packing business. Working everything from the killing floor to the front sales office... for what its worth I have no problem eating choice cuts of red meat at any cooking level, but I won't eat a hamburger unless its nearly incinerated. | ||

Actually, we do. But the real dairy cows, like the one that was infected, aren't supposed to be eaten by humans - so if it got into the human food chain, it must have been a mistake, or someone pulling a fast one. |
