The Mad Cows

Now I need a little help clarifying what the truth of the matter is? When Mad Cow diease was in the UK I read an article in the LA Times, that said that if you ate any part of the infected Cow, including milk you could catch the diease. It even went on to say that that if you put Bone meal from the infected cow on your Tomatoe plants you could get Mad Cow from the Tomatoes.

Now the US Goivernment is saying that you only can get Mad Cow if you the eat brain or spinal colume parts, and not to worry.

AlsoI have recently read, that new research suggests that you have to have a genetic propensity to catch Mad Cow?


Something is rotten in Denmark here, which is the acurate information? Is this a case where the Government is outright lying to the people to protect an industry? This is a case where the Government would really want to cover something up, so as not to panic people. With friends like that we don't need Al Qadea to do us in, our very own Hamburgers will do the trick.

Another question while 1 Cow doesn't make a Mad Herd, is this just thte tip of the iceberg, and how long and how many Mad Cows are really out there.
