"Would veal be safe since they're so young??"

I am by no means an expert on this, just a lowely beefeater, however the thought of playing Russian Rulette everytime I eat beef products is not very appealing at the moment. One things for certain, If the Government says something is safe while everyone arround you does not think so, well I tend to disbelieve the Gov.

Do you get in the car and drive anywhere? The chances of your dying in a car accident are infinitely higher than being a victim of Mad Cow Disease.
However, would irradiating all our meat not be a very good idea? Texas A&M is on the forefront of using lasers to process our food, and I'm beginning to think this is an idea whose time has come.
