I agree with you that feeding cows infected feed was - to put it kindly - a very, very bad idea.
But, given that the disease is in the brain, and spinal cord of the infected animal, avoiding these pieces seems to lower my risk of contracting this to a very, very, very low number. At least it seems safer than eating green onions at a Chi-Chi's back in Nashville.

We went to a Mexican restaurant tonight for dinner. I decided to be a chicken (no pun intended) and stick with the spinach enchiladas which included a nice sprinkling of green onions. You can't win. If it ain't mad cow it's Hep A. One way or another somethin's gonna get you in the end.
