The irony of your illiterate point is that you're arguing for privatized
testing of part of the food supply. The fact remains that only two aged
cows in the US have ever tested positive for BSE. In the time since the
first detected case, nearly 120 million cattle have been slaughtered.
The infection rate is ~0.000001667%.

> You take funded sites by agents as gospel.

No, I take a look at *two out of 120 million* cattle and wonder why your
knickers are in a twist. I'm not going to fret over such anomalies,
particularly when those two animals were NEVER going to enter the human
food supply. They didn't even enter the animal food supply. They were
destroyed.

> And you are a vulgar troll.

You're upset because I'm right and because you cannot address the facts
about this issue.
