We might be the lucky winners of the MADCOW Beef

When the scare came out I was not too worried because it was way up in Washington. We eat a lot of chicken and fish any way. Then last night I watched the news and was floored.
THE MAD COW BEEF WAS AT THE STORE I SHOP AT

I JUST COOKED TACOS WITH IT 2 NIGHTS AGO

FUCKING BUSH and his MAD COW raising buddies. I am scared to tell my family now. I am even more scared of what is going to happen next

1. There will be a denial and

cover-up to follow......The red tape and lack of funding for effective investigating will overshadow the AIDS research of the early 80's. I guess someone famous will have to be affected. But wait....Mad Cow's incubation period can be 10 years long before symptoms arise.....

Oh my, *bush is saved again. I guess they calculated that into the equation when the endorsed the protein supplement to the cow feed.

from the CDC on Bovine Spongiform.....

The incubation period for vCJD is unknown because it is a new disease. However, it is likely that ultimately this incubation period will be measured in terms of many years or decades. In other words, whenever a person develops vCJD from consuming a BSE-contaminated product, he or she likely would have consumed that product many years or a decade or more earlier.

Mad Cow is vCJD.......

2. I think that all you can do at this point

...is to throw away whatever beef you have left.

One would guess that your odds of getting the human form are pretty low, but I'd throw away whatever you have left and either wait until you feel safe buying beef again or just give it up altogether.

I'd also consider talking to my spouse about it (but not necessarily my children, depending on some factors).

3. Well there goes my children's lives

My 15 year old has been tested Mensa level intelligence. Don't ask me it must have been the milk man or some thing. 15 and developing web pages and writing code.

4. Corporate America is the problem...

Corporate farms using every quick'n'sleazy method to feed cows to keep costs down. By now millions know of the shithole conditions food animals are raised in, pus and all. The sheeple won't care in the end though. They'll still eat beef. The fact that the latest poll shows 66% of the public not caring speaks volumes. Not just for cattle meat but for America in general.

Bushbastard* merely supports the madness. No pun intended.

Corporate america itself is a form of mad cow, given what they do... (I digress, if I were to do so further I could make a big rant worthy of an independent post and I'm speaking to the choir anyway.)

5. No You pegged it my friend

I have been seeing the same thing for almost 20 years now.

My mind goes a bit farther with it thou. I tend to think it sheeple by design. Ever since Regan started to run, its like sphyc-ops designed to disenfranchise the American voting public by apathy.

Its not merely the dumbing down of America. Its the "I'm tired of hearing about it America" The "What can I do it is hopeless America". Press releases and stories designed to make the masses just give up.

7. Not Safe

"We eat a lot of chicken and fish any way."

Rendered mad cows are made into chicken and fish food. Your not safe anywhere you go, no matter what you eat. Remdered mad cows are also made into fertilizer for your garden. Chicken shit is on your vegetables. Rendered mad cow is in cosmetics, medicines, face creams, lipstick, industrial lubricants,etc.
Prions are practically indestructable. They ONLY way to stop mad cow is to STOP rendering animals bits and feeding them back to animals. ALL ANIMALS

In the mean time carefully select who you buy from and what you eat.

Make sure it's from 100% organic farmers.

[FreakinDJ]

9. Yes I shopped there

It was the Winco foods in Roseville California.

My God I have kids I feed the meat to
