People go into panic mode so easily these days. The cattle industry and restaurant chains that specialize in meat will literally be slaughtered.

The upside is... all those restaurants that banned smoking will have to reinstate smoking sections, or die out completely!
Seriously, this is very bad news for the beef industry in this country.I sure hope all those involved took the lessons learned from the UK and applied them.
I have my doubts though, since the cattle industry sued Oprah, and lost.
I am not very impressed with food safety precautions in the USA, since a whole lot of what we eat comes from countries that are outside the scope and regulations of the FDA, anyways.
I pray this is an isolated case, but who will trust anyone in the FDA,CDC or the cattle industry to prove that? How on earth can they?
This is bad news for the whole country.
