So - here's my take on this whole mad cow thing - speaking as a Brit, who
lived through the original deal (whilst eating copious quantities of beef),
who knows a little bit about meat, etc, etc...... (but who could also be
totally wrong)

1) BSE can only ever infect animals that have been fed ground up parts of
other animals. i.e. el cheapo beef - normally carcasses of old dairy cows
ground up for burgers, pies anf other processed meat products etc...

2) Good quality, grass fed steer beef cannot ever contract BSE. The prion
infection agent simply is not present in any natural cattle food (i.e.
grass).

3) Don't eat meat that you do not know the provenance of.

4) This basically means, only buy good quality, grass (or maybe in the US,
corn fed) fed steer beef. If you think you are getting cow meat of unknown
provenance then pass on it.

5) Organic beef is better as there cannot be any infectious agents in the
food.

6) Good quality and/or organic beef tastes better anyway.

7) Don't buy meat simply because it's cheap. Buy quality meat only.

8) Make friends with your butcher. Find out where the beef you buy comes
from.

9) This may be difficult int he USA because price has become the all
conquering driver.

10) Buy quality. Eat quality.

11) Errr.......I need another beer.

12) BSE is bullshit. If your beef suppliers don't try to pervert nature for
the sake fo a few cents, there is no danger.

13) You is what you eats.
