Canada is at fault for the case of BSE found in the
US recently that shut down most of the exports. The
only good news is that beef prices domestically should
be coming down soon as the surplus beef hits the super
markets.

Think I'll be eating more steak in the future. . .

If you buy t-bones, don't gnaw on the bones.




This signature is now the ultimate power in the universe

The prion that is assumed to be the cause
of BSE exists only in the bovine's brain and
spinal column or intestines if the animal has
just ingested contaminated food that contains
the prion. If this prion is, indeed, the cause
of the encephalitis then one would have to eat
raw brains, spinal columns or intestines in order
to be in danger of becoming a host to the prion.

I ain't THAT hungry, besides . . . I don't know
about you but I don't eat that crap - let alone
eat it raw. I eat all my beef well done - even
prime rib. If I want raw I'll stick to eating
oysters or pussy.

In your case, Horvath, I doubt even the
most hardy prion could survive a constant
blood/alcohol level well beyond legal limits
so you should enjoy eating whatever floats
your boat.

Can't you get anyone to read it to you?

The US FDA very clearly states the additional means of exposure and
their sources.

You also seem to be ignorant fo the fact that cooking has no effect
whatsoever on the prions.

I don't know about you but I don't eat that crap
let alone eat it raw. I eat all my beef well done

Is it a hobby of yours to post such ignorant crap? I didn't think ther
was anything that you knew less about than nautical matters but every
day you give us a glimpse of the depths of your ignorance.

Give Simon some credit for bucking the trend of mass hysteria.

Also check out "chronic wasting disease" for big game animals.
