Ho Ho Holy Crap!!

So it's not enough that I've had the headache from hell today. As it turns out this evening, there's a very good likelihood, a presumtive positive, that Washington state (home of McKinley Enterprises) is home to the first case of BSE (also known as Mad Cow Disease) in the United States.

As a meatatarian, I am shocked and awed by this development. It takes several years before symptoms manifest themselves in cows and in the meanwhile, hamburger meat, hot dogs and meat by-products could now be in the food chain here in the US (and abroad!). HOWEVER, let's not get ourselves all worked up about this until you have had a moment to see what the FDA has to say about it.

In the interim, it looks like it'll be back to sushi, fish, pork and chicken for me. At least those products haven't been shown to have any links with causing a degenerative and fatal neurological disorder.
