As a Wisconsinite who always snickers a little when I see one of those moronic "Happy Cows come from California" commercials on TV, I'll probably tear something from laughter the next time I see one. Cheese is part of our holy trinity: Beer, the Packers, and Cheese. Californian dairies probably aren't aware of the fact that a cow udder with one teat ain't an udder.

The infection attacks the brain. It's been decades since one of those was anywhere near D.C.

it's only when cow engage in cannibalism that the disease spreads to enough cattle

Never turn your back on one, that's for sure!

Of course, the USDA has required insanely higher levels of testing for cows/beef from Canada.
Of coruse! - It's Canada! - We all know they're planning to invade the US and it would make their invasion much easier if everybody had CJD (the human variant of BSE, possibly caused by eating BSE-infected meat), right? - So remain vigilant when it comes to those pesky Canadians! :)
