    Nothing new about this disease. Farmers back in the thirties called it the staggers. The entire population of meat eating Americans did not die off from it.

    The disease may have mutated. They changed the feed that was the suspect to it's cause but here it shows up again. They lied when they said THAT cow was not in the food supply. All beef are in the food supply. There is no reason to raise beef except for food. Nobody raises them to just have around and let die of old age. They are raised to sale for food or produce dairy foods.

    The FDA reported that there was no danger to people because the cow was never in the food supply. I said that all beef are in the food supply. This was a full grown beef so it was going to butcher or being used as breeding stock in which case it would pass the disease along. I don't understand where this has started. The last time it was blamed on feeding cattle food with beef parts mixed in the grain. The law was change and does not allow this anymore so where did it come from? Has it mutated? Has it spread to other animals? It is highly contagious to humans.

    This is coming from a farm raised guy. Mad cow can only come from eating brain or spine. So its not the meat to worry about but the way its cut. Who knows if they cut bone and maybe it got in the meat that way. Yes there is times were they will pull a cow and shot it and get ride of it. If the FDA says it is bad then the farmer take a loss and has to get ride of the cow. Atlest that how its ment to be but people can't be trusted.

    I said no because I don't eat a lot of beef anyway. However, the fact that mad cow disease has surfaced again is troubling. It means it never was eliminated or the cause of the disease was never truly dealt with.

    We need tight regulations on our food. If we don't it is only a matter of time before people start getting the disease from eating contaminated meat.

    Wrong. California doesn't have it's own set of beef regulations, Einstein. the USDA inspect cows for BSE, not state officials. Japan discovered the first case of BSE in imported beef from the U.S. in 2003 and halted U.S. beef imports In December 2005,.

    Compliance with the regulations has shown to be extremely poor becuase of republicans' corporate agenda. even U.S. meat producer Creekstone Farms alleges that the USDA is preventing BSE testing from being conducted.

    Don''t the cons think of the EU as the "land of regulation and laws" too? Explain why there has been a case of mad cow disease (BSE) in the EU.

    sorry to see you were misled...and wrong...no need to revert to name calling though..
    california does have laws and a meat council...and the CDFA..which acts independent of the usda and in some cases..along with the usda..

    The only link I clicked on was the first one because you seem to not be able to provide reliable sources.

    Bovine Brucellosis =/=Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy

    Like I said before, the USDA inspects for BSE (mad-cow disease). It was
    The U.S. Department of Agriculture who announced Tuesday it detected the nation's fourth-ever case of mad cow disease - the first instance since 2006.
