Feel well advised by the excellent remarks from >members of this list. I will add a few of my own suggestions. From what I've read, you have to have spent about six months in Englad before they'll keep you from giving blood. Things may have changed. And don't for a minute think it's only beef. It all comes from grinding up animals and feeding the results to other animals. Same thing with cannibals in New Guinea who developed the disease Kuru - mostly women and children, men didn't imbibe. What you call mad cow disease, spongiform encephilopathy (sp?), is 100 percent fatal, and a terrible way to die, just like Kuru. So this is not a light thing. And combine that with the British government knowingly covering it up to protect industries, well, I'd be careful of eating anything that can be recycled through bone meal and other meat products. Hey, even McDonald's in Great Britain lied about where they got their meat at the time. (They didn't mention bone meal from Britain was being fed to cattle in the Netherlands, where they got their beef, at the time). A book called "Deadly Feasts" is a fascinating investigation into this scary, real, disease which they predict will kill millions by the year 2015 - - it has a very, very long incubation period. And we in the States are not immune. - -- Eric Welch Carlsbad, CA
