Fast-food chains try to reassure consumers about beef

Huh, it bugs me what I read in this article.

Supposedly highly educated people apparently believe that that mad cow case recently discovered in Washington state can possibly be an isolated case?

Isolated in the small sample they take, yes. But it can't be an isolated case in the whole population. Like I said before, that cow didn't eat all by herself the whole production lot of contaminated food that made her sick.

Come on, just use common sense. The other cows in the same herd that ate from the same feeders the same day are probably infected too, but went undetected. In Japan, where they test so many more cows than in the States, they have found that even cows that look healthy carry the decease.
