SEATTLE, Dec 23 (Reuters) - Meat from a cow with the deadly mad cow disease may have already been eaten, possibly in the form of hamburger, Washington State Deputy Director of Agriculture Bill Brookerson said on Tuesday.

Asked at a press conference if it was possible that the meat had already been consumed, Brookerson replied: "It's possible."

I eat beef at every evening meal. Roast, steak, hamburger.....I grew up on a farm and we raised our own Angus to eat.

I can't imagine not eating beef.

Just got a freezer full again.

How much you wanna bet Oprah has something to say about this?

Actually, this never would have happened under Clinton, especially if Hudson (now Tyson) meat company was involved. There just would have been a rash of mysterious deaths/suicides at the USDA.

"There just would have been a rash of mysterious deaths/suicides at the USDA."

I stand corrected, and bow down most Superior One. BTW, I worked at Tyson shortly after 60 Minutes aired their little propaganda piece (during hitlery's claim that she did nothing wrong with the Tyson atty that invested her money in cattle futures). Everything that we "tin foil hat nutcases" believed WAS true, and then some I'm sure. Tyson+klintoon+McDougal+Worthen/Stevens Bank = corruption and the death of many!

Well this is a fine reversal of things. One cow is found in Alberta to be infected and all Canadian beef was banned until about a year or so later the USDA was satisfied all was safe again.

Was the bovine in question actually mad or slightly pissed off. Have been eating beef in Europe (UK) for years as well as here at home, certain that my clogged arteries will get me before I go bonkers IMHO.....

Norman Bates' house?

[Republican Wildcat]

How long before the Democrats blame Bush for this?

[GeronL]

we obviously lifted the sanction on Canada too early.

Is it Norman Bates Brand Beef?

[xp38]

Maybe..it'll be interesting to see if they can trace where the infection came from.

[Eric Cassano]

Where's the beef?

Good question.....Here's a story I found on a TV station's website (KREM - Spokane, Washington).

The story has a good map showing the location of the meat processing and distribution plants that may be involved.....

"Meat from a cow with the deadly mad cow disease may have already been eaten, possibly in the form of hamburger..."

So what? This is hype! The whole "mad cow" scenario is hype. Epidemiologists have been trying unsuccessfully for more than two decades to cause even one single case of transmission of BSE from one cow to another.

They have even ground up the brains of "infected" animals and injected the material into the blood of other animals, but still not one single transmission has occurred. - They have attempted to transfer the disease to monkeys by the same means, with the same result.

This whole fraud has been created by a ding-bat named Gajdusek who has even been given a Nobel prize because governments refused to fund his nonsense. - This is alot like the AIDS/HIV fraud, and they both are being used to further the idea of global government (read: tyranny)
