Hi Clarence,
I would agree. I have not used McDonalds for many years now,
originally because of McJobs type slave labour wages, now because of
having seen analysis of the product!
We were getting the BSE (Mad Cow) thing under control in the UK
following the Draconian "KILL,KILL,KILL," method, but some farmers in
Euroland are still supplying meat containing spinal sections where
the stuff resides apparently.
The other worry is that BSE will be sort of forgotten for now in the
Foot and Mouth thing, and might rear itself up again whilst evryone
is busy doing the F & M sacrificial pyre.
Regards
mel
