Worst case scenario, most of the US population dies out due to Mad Cow and the vegetarians and the few who didn't eat much beef get to point and say "I told you so." Best case scenario, nothing happens. I just don't want to graduate to hear that I'm gonna die anyhow because of eating some cow 10 years ago. |
It depends on the type of beef you consume. My family purchases its beef from a local farm that slaughters pasture-raised cows. Consuming beef from pasture-raised cows virtually eliminates the risk of consuming tainted meat. It is still possible, but it is highly unlikely If you purchase beef that has been fed MBM or has been raised in an area that has been fed MBM, then you are at risk.
