When Mad Cow Disease was a major issue in Europe a few years ago I kept this tucked away in the back of my mind. A few years ago there was controversy over allowing beef from certain European countries. Now the problem is in our back yard. I also remember reading about cutbacks to government agencies and I hope this new problem wasn't a result of some of those cutbacks. In any event I decided to cut out beef from my diet forever. The story claims the beef was manufactured between September 2013 and April of this year. That is a LONG period to search back from. How much beef was sold during that time ? And normally that is not something people will save for months. According to the dynamics of this disease it may be years before we find out about deaths attributed to this.
