I have studied the odds and decided to continue eating beef as usual.

Scientists in Great Britain injected tissue from a cow with mad cow disease, also known as bovine spongiform encephalapothy, into mice whose brains were genetically engineered with human genes.

For more valid results I would have cooked and digested the tissue first. But you can be damned sure I'm going to cut down on injecting infected tissue into my brain.

I keep remembering all the things that "research" has shown to cause DANGER TO HUMANS!!!. Things like peanut butter causes cancer, any non-sugar sweetener causes cancer(if you drink 40 gallons of the stuff everyday for 50 years) and all the rest. But, I guess an outbreak of a brain-wasting disease would explain the democRAT party

If I eat carbs, I'll become fat and die.

If I eat meat, I'll get chronic wasting disease, become thin, and die.

I'll take thin, please.

Wonder if the writer is a vegan trying to get the rests of us to swear off beef.

Nah, couldn't be.

I have a friend whose mother died of CJD some years ago. He will never be allowed to donate blood because the authorities are uncertain about how it is transmitted. Potentially pretty scary stuff. We are still eating beef, but we've decided to only buy hamburger from a butcher we know and trust.

Just damn.

If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

I found a place in southern Arizona that does monthly deliveries to Phoenix. The cattle is grass-fed and hormone free. Their prices are $1. more per pound than the stores. Going to try them out in the next two weeks.

Rights, farms, environment ping.

Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from this list.
I don't get offended if you want to be removed.

[CDHart]

I wonder if there's any relationship between CJD and Alzheimer's or other dementias?

I have to force myself to stop reading this topic. I don't want to become absolutely grossed out to meat.
I love my Steak. I'll take my chances and remain ignorant on this topic from now on. I have a roast to get ready for dinner.

However, could someone please Ping me if a lot of people start to get seriesly sick from meat. Thanks :)
