MAD COW MEAT: 4 TIMES AS MUCH AS USDA SAID

Gosh, this is disturbing - or would be, to anyone who could sincerely be surprised that the USDA lies to the American public: "When the USDA launched the recall of affected meat Dec. 23, officials put the total at 10,400 pounds, or 5.2 tons, a figure they repeated for nearly two months. But the actual amount was 38,000 pounds, or 19 tons, the agency now acknowledges."
