Has the confirmed discovery of Mad Cow disease in Washington state affected anyone's eating or purchasing habits? Several other countrys have already banned U.S. beef imports for the next six months to six years. How do feelings run on this topic? This is how the U.S. treated other country's instances of Mad Cow with as few as one case (note:Canada). Is there blame to be placed? Some industry activists have been predicting this for years as the practice of grinding up slaughtered bovine bones and cartilage and feeding them to other cattle supposedly causes Mad Cow. Any experts on this topic?
