NO NEWS IS BAD NEWS
"A year after the first U.S. case of mad cow disease was reported, Sen. Maria Cantwell says the Food and Drug Administration still has not fulfilled its promise to tighten animal feed rules to help prevent future cases." This is almost non-news, a dog-bites-man story - FDA refusing to take the steps that could conceivably end the threat of further BSE cases - but it's worth pointing out now and again in case anyone lapses into the viewpoint that our government is really serious about food safety.

I was recently informed by someone in the medical field of a case of mad-cow in my area. Their has been no news posted in any of our four-state papers or on the local services. Makes you wonder what else they don't tell us.
Do you mean a human case of vCJD? Or a cow with BSE? Neither would surprise me, but I'm wondering which one you meant.
Thanks,
