I've been buying the organic chicken and wild seafood only myself. I've been off the beef for quite awhile now due to high cholesterol. I never particularly cared for it anyway, was just cooking it and eating because it was there so to speak.
Screw big-beef is right! Why do you think it is banned in ~30 countries around the world? Why isn't anyone saying anything about this except "you have a better chance of being struck by lightening"? And you are right, WHAT ABOUT THE CATTLE MUTILATIONS?
It is indeed VERY scary and, nope, I won't be eating anymore of it either no matter what anyone says.
They sell organic grass-fed beef at the local health food store and they were trying to convince me it was safe. I asked then where their bulls came from. They had no concrete answers - just said it was BSE free and not to worry.
The article also states:
<<One of the panel's goals was "removal of all SRM from both human food and animal feed," according to documents released at the USDA meeting. The USDA should consider banning brain and spinal cord from all cattle over 12 months of age from human food, it said.
Another necessary step is for the United States to test all "at risk" cattle over 30 months of age, the experts said.>>
<<The USDA plans to boost mad cow tests to about 40,000 cattle this year, double the number tested last year.>>
Only 40,000 to be tested out of HOW MANY CATTLE? This is a joke, and now, they are CONSIDERING banning brain and spinal cord from all cattle over 12 months of age from human food!? Why just CONSIDERING? :wtf: again!!!
I'll stop worrying when the gov't fesses up to what a nightmare this is! In the meantime, we dwell on ricin and BS elections that may or may not matter. How can elections seriously matter when we are up against the BFEE? :scared:
