USDA Changes Mad Cow Testing System

VERY deceptive practices!

They are reducing the piddly amount of information released! Why? To avoid panic. They essentially admit to as much.

The biggest slap in the face, though, is that they assert that this "new" system will "mirror" the way Japan handles it (i.e., not release "inconclusive" results, and await secondary testing results before announcing anything).

What they DON'T manage to mention is that Japan is testing ALL cattle, not just the ones that look sick.
