Guest guest Posted March 28, 2001 Report Share Posted March 28, 2001 Particularly for Danette as she is so worried about dropping beef from the household diet, but info for others as well, as Australia is an island and our customs dept. are very strict we have been lucky to escape this (at least for now) but I read in the paper a week or so ago that some UK lipsticks (and possibly other make up products) contain animal by products and could very well harbour mad cow Ekkkkkk!!! sorry to pass this little gem along.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2001 Report Share Posted March 28, 2001 Are people getting this disease. So far I have not heard of anyone becoming ill?

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2001 Report Share Posted March 28, 2001 I'm not. I've just decided to give up bars, no way is beef going too, I love it too much. Someone a lot closer than Great Britain is going to have to drop dead first!

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2001 Report Share Posted March 28, 2001 Someone on the paleo list (www.paleodiet.com) mentioned that mad cow is hyped up in the media to get people to stop buying meat and instead buy higher profit items like cereals, breads, processed foods. > >Do I need to be worried about this?

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2001 Report Share Posted March 29, 2001 We have a bigger chance of winning the lottery than we do of being affected by mad cow disease. If in Britain where it is as rampant as it gets, there have only been 88-95 (depending on source) deaths in the past 6 years. It doesn't concern me in the least in North America now. In Europe or any country where there are legitimate concerns, I might be more cautious, but even then... I'd probably still eat my steak Kirstie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
