Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Scientific tests just confirmed that a cow in Manitoba, Canada has Mad Cow Disease. Food safety officials first suspected infection earlier last week, but held off commenting officially until the results came back from the laboratory.Canadians need not worry, though. This isn't likely going to be like the British Mad Cow scare of the mid-1990s. According to the owner, the cow was purchased back in 1992, which means the cow probably contracted the disease prior to the 1996 ruling, which banned unsafe cattle feed.
Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), or Mad Cow Disease, is usually transmitted when cows consume infected cattle parts. While this is only the sixth confirmed case of mad cow disease since 2003, Canadian officials recently announced enhancements to the feed ban to block even more high-risk cattle parts from pet foods and fertilizers.

Has the cow had BSE for 10 years?
What has this cow been doing since 1996?
Cows usually don't live a live of leisure...they produce or die...since we didn't eat her, yet, has she been giving birth all these years?
