Two slaughterhouse workers charged with animal cruelty. If there only was a word to descibe this...
This is going to turn into the biggest circlejurk of the year. Till all of the dust settles there may be over a billion pounds of beef that needs to be tracked down since 2006. Now the Government will try to track it all down as I understand.
Till the dust settles I am willing to bet Congress will need to pass a supplemental spending bill (Borrow more money) to take care of this disaster. I hate to say it but most of it has been eaten..its last years news. Lawsuits all over the place. Get the stuff out there off the street and move on.
Oh well so be it. I hardly eat beef anyway. Let the price double (as it probably will). Just import it from China.

uhhmn, what if you took the money this boondoggle is gonna cost and used it to hire more inspectors? Upton Sinclair's expose of Chicago meat packing was instrumental in passing the Pure food and drug acts a century ago. Enforcement is lax because inpectors are too thin on the ground.

Yea..more Federal inspectors.
If they do as good a job as the Federal Airline Baggage Inspectors ..... Federal Baggage Inspectors catch one third the number is problems that private inspectors catch. Maybe the answer if Fewer (federal) inspectors. Fire them all and hire private inspectors. I seem to recall a former President that had the right idea.
How long does it take for people to understand that the government can't handle any task?

Hurry up and fill your fridge and freezer. Then eat up.

Just cook it good, it's fine (they can't find anyone who has gotten sick). It's now legal to sell e-coli tainted beef which is worse, however it can only be sold in products cooked in the factory to ensure proper cooking to kill it. When I heard this I quit buying pre-cooked beef products.
You can't cook away bovine spongiform encephalitis.
most of the beef that is recalled has already been consumed with no incidents. the recall is purely precautionary.

Or rather the recall is for the most part postcautionary.
The whole mess makes me ill.

Some studies indicate that BSE may manifest itself long after the contaminated meat has been eaten.

Would seem to me the recall is "purely political", given time frame.

Can't know unless the specific test was done. Which brings up that very question. Why weren't downer cattle tested? Because it's not cheap.

Right, if a cow can't walk, they run into them with a fork lift.
I think I just wrote the definition of evil.
