I honestly say I haven't... have you?

 

I haven't eaten beef in over 10 years.

 

hell yeah. mm steak.

 

Dude, I went to Outback the day after I heard about it, and got a super rare steak. I told them to make sure that it was still cool in the middle, I always eat my steak that way. My white blood cells will destroy the mad cow virus, BRING IT ON.

 

There's like a 0.00000000000000001% chance of catching mad cow in the US. You're more likely to get struck by lighting and win the lotto in the same day.

Just had a beef tenderloin roast for dinner.

 

You can have mad cow and not see it for 40 years. I'm guessing there are more people with mad cow. Look up mutated prion, the sourse of mad cow, and you'd see why it's so hard to detect or get rid of.

But Mad Cow is not caused by a virus. It is caused by a mutated protein, that's why cooking does not stop it from "infecting" the person/cow who ingests the protein. This mutated protein accumulates in the nerve system of the person/cow until eventually it causes other cells around it to mutate as well and you end up with Mad Cow. Interesting stuff.

 

They will still KILL IT> J/K dude I was kidding man. I really see no chance in getting mad cow. The funny thing is The idiots at PETA were all happy that this happened, and they were saying that us "meat eaters" derserve this. Well hundreds of little innocent baby cows are going to be butchered because they had the privilage of being in the company of the offspring of the cow that was infected. ARE YOU LAUGHING NOW PETA?
