In response to "USDA has confirmed the fourth ever case of Mad Cow in the US. CNN says it's a nastier than usual version -- (link)" by zork

Joy. This is my daughter's irrational fear. We finally got her to start eating beef about six months ago.

"It's extremely rare. It's been years since there was a case."

I hope she doesn't hear about this.

- this one is but where did it get the disease? people will conclude that it means other cows in the US have it. -- nm - zork Apr 24, 13:34 3
  - well, there will be an investigation, but cows get it through their feed. depends where the feed came from. -- nm - loosilu Apr 24, 13:37 2
    - sure, but unless that cow protected its feed like WillHunting does, others will have eaten it too, at least on that farm -- nm - zork Apr 24, 13:39 1
      - which is why the herd is quarantined. -- nm - loosilu Apr 24, 13:39
- Dairy cows that are older get sold off to make beef. -- nm - bacon Apr 24, 13:32 4
  - The USDA gets a lot of things wrong, but the safeguards that prevent the spread of mad cow are actually pretty good. -- nm - loosilu Apr 24, 13:36 2
    - How do I know you aren't infected with Mad Cow which is making you post information to lull us into a false sense of security to spread your kind? -- nm - bacon Apr 24, 13:37 1
      - to spread it, I'd have to kill myself and make you eat my brain. -- nm - loosilu Apr 24, 13:38
  - true, but by that point the diseease would manifest. -- nm - loosilu Apr 24, 13:33
- Logic is not applicable when discussing irrational fears. -- nm - TWuG Apr 24, 13:31
