Mad Cow

A few weeks ago there was one case of Mad cow disease in Northern Alberta. The United States closed it's border for all Canada beef and it's been closed ever since. I'd like to know how many of you would still eat Canadian beef.

There are cows in Canada? How do they eat grass when it's frozen to the ground?

Ha Ha you are so funny! We have many cows. And many farmers. Come visit sometime and you'll see. Western Canada is all farming and oil.

Well sure. I guess Canadian beef is just as good as any other!

They can live in Canada because they're mad, duh. Any reasonable cow would get its butt down south, pronto. Just kidding, I've seen Canadian cows. They don't "moo", they "eh." Seriously, the only red meat I eat is Hebrew National hot dogs (not a vegetarian, just not a huge meat fan), if they put Canadian beef in there, I'd eat it. I don't care.

Who's responsible for the closed boarder? The USDA? They're probably extremely busy with other things, like making more Grade A stamps. If it's Congress, they're wasting our money sending out newsletters about their progress that people find extrememly useful when lining birdcages.

I really don't care where it comes from as long as it's not contaminated with something.

My sentiments exactly. Cow tastes good. Moo!

The Chick-fil-a cows would disagree with you.

I have a huge predicament in that I love Chick Fil A but I also love cows.

Yeah, me too. I love them both.

I live in Alberta too. The province has been under a lot of stress with this issue. And they have to deal with SARS as well.

Did they ever get rid of SARS in Canada? I heard about it, but the news about it has all died down.

It's still in Toronto but it is getting better. We never had it in Alberta.

That's good. I'm glad it's under control.
