"I was recently visiting my mother in California and read the morning paper she 
had sitting on the kitchen table. I was surprised to see an article, small and 
not on a front page (duh) that stated they had found Mad Cow diseased cattle in 
Dallas. There are 413 cows that have been 'lost.' Apparently, many cows lose 
their ear tags when being transferred, and are just retagged. The group was 
accounted for except for the 413, which have apparently entered the meat 
industry! 

"I think it's important to NOT buy any hamburger from any grocery store unless 
you know where it came from or it's organic. I personally don't buy ANY beef 
from any store (only organic for me!). Hamburger is the worst, as it can 
contain organs and blood from higher concentrations of contamination. Please, 
be safe."
