CWD-RIDDEN MEAT SERVED AT BANQUET

Let's hope the provisional stance that eating meat from animals with Chronic Wasting Disease is safe holds true, because meat from one of the two New York deer found to have the disease was recently served at the Verona Fire Department's sportsman's banquet. In Oneida County, "Health officials want people to know the disease hasn't been found to affect humans. But they still want to hear from people who may have eaten venison at the banquet." Just, you know, to see how they liked the taste and so forth.
