This mad cow scare comes just about a couple weeks after the greedy meat
industry jacked its prices sky high and I heard a lot of complaints while shopping in the supermarket. Why would they have bought cows from Canada where they had an outbreak of the disease? -- Barb I can only please one person a day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look good either. |

The cattle market here hit an all-time high this past fall, with increases in meat at the market *and* on the hoof. I don't eat beef anyway, but I *am* concerned about the small family farm operations who depend on the cattle industry for their livelihood. It just seems peculiar that the "Mad Cow" scare comes at this particular time. Probably coincidental but it makes you wonder. Sherry |

Quit being so paranoid! Haven't you been following the news? The low carb craze has driven meat prices up! It's simple supply and demand. |

Why would they have bought cows from Canada where they had an outbreak of the disease? The cow in question has been in the U.S. for a couple of years - long before the outbreak (one case) in Canada this past May. The incubation period for this disease can be years, so there would be no way of knowing if the cow was ill until symptoms were exhibited. What I'd like to know, but will probably never find out, is how this cow got into the food chain in the first place, and why only after it got there, did someone decide to raise a flag?? Judy |
