Fact: about 250 Americans die every year from Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (nvCJD). "Mad Cow", or
bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), has been suspected in U.S. cattle for some time.Unfortunately, the USDA didn't do anything about
While E.coli, Salmonella, and Listeria are far more dangerous.

Almost isn't good enough! Why the hell did they put that into the food supply?

U.K. Lab Confirms Mad Cow Case in U.S.
The story begins:
WASHINGTON - A British lab provided initial independent confirmation Thursday that the United
States has its first case of mad cow disease, U.S. agriculture officials said. Federal
investigators labored to trace the path the infected animal took from birth to slaughter.To be accurate, the story needs to read: "...the United States has its first DETECTED case of mad
cow disease..."It is a reasonable position to suggest the USDA inspection protocol has been inadequate. This page -
usda.gov0070.htmOpen ↗ - discusses some of the changes the USDA made in
recent years. It also contains this regrettable bit of industry promotion:USDA and HHS are reporting the status of the action steps first outlined Nov. 30, 2001 following
the release of the landmark risk analysis on BSE conducted by Harvard University. The report
showed that the risk of BSE occurring in the United States is extremely low.
