Matt in KC Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 http://www.cnn.com/2005/HEALTH/06/24/mad.cow.ap/index.html The first case confirmed in the U.S. was in December 2003, a dairy cow imported from Canada.

IDBillzFan Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 The animal was a "downer," meaning it was unable to walk. Such animals are banned from the food supply. Too bad we can't classify some human's as "downers" so we could ban them our food supply. Maybe our oxygen supply as well. Let's see: potential "downers....."

UConn James Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 If you think that's just the second, or that the first was the first.... Farmers stood/stand to loose a lot even with the utterance of 'Mad Cow' and its symptoms. Swept under the rug, never happened, whistle a little ditty and they're Sgt. Schultz. Standards and tracking still aren't what they should be. I buy a 1/4 cow from a local farmer I trust and watch the butcher cut it while I Ziploc my hamburger and steaks.

UConn James Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Do you wear your tinfoil hat when you're doing that? 367381[/snapback] No, but I carry something else if the PETA/militant vegan people ever show up. I know people who work in the industry. You know that phrase of things you don't want to know how they're made? Add beef and milk. I'm not tin-hat paranoid about it, but I like to know where my food comes from. Plus, doing it like that is cheaper per pound, it's great tasting meat and it supports a local farmer.

I wish I had the room to raise a small few. Grass and grain fed, without any additives. Man, you talk about a great steak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second of all, I'd love to be a Kobe Beef until the point where they killed me. Get fed good beer all my with a two-a-day full bodied massage? Bad cow, BAD!
