In response to Bad Beef posted by gdobson720:


Oops - I was TOTALLY wrong in suggesting that one can lessen chances of contracting Mad Cow Disease by choosing your own cuts to grind (and therefore avoiding the addition of spinal cord and brain tissue). Cows consume these CNS parts in commercial feed and get the prions (causing us Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease) in their flesh; so we're back to choosing beef from cows that only eat organic feed. Thanks to Jackie for alerting us to the USDA's lack of oversight!
