Yay, beef!
Tests Confirm Second Mad Cow Case in U.S.
Exhaustive tests have confirmed mad cow disease in an animal apparently born in the United States, officials said Friday. It is the second case of the disease confirmed in this country, but Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns stressed there was no threat to public health.
The animal, a “downer” that could not walk, was not killed at a slaughterhouse but at a rendering plant for animals unfit for human consumption, officials said. Johanns would not say where the case turned up, but he said there was no evidence the cow was imported.
If you want a quick idea of just the sort of person I am, you need to understand my reaction to this.
I love beef. Steak, burgers, roast beef sandwiches, tacos, sloppy joes, I’m getting hungry already. So another case of mad cow? I welcome it.
Lss of you now normal people will now want to eat beef. So the law of supply and demand swings back into my favor, and the price will drop. More steak for me!

Let’s see, it takes ten years to show up in the human. How many years do you have left? Just kidding. I love beef too.
