I just read a usatoday.com opinion article about how the USDA is blocking a company from testing its cows for BSE. Now why would they do this? Remember if you have done nothing wrong you have nothing to hide.

I would be interested in knowing what their reasoning for blocking this company from doing the testing is. Do they think that the test is not credible and they are trying to block it so that consumers will not be misled and think that this 'tested' beef is safe? Or are they afraid that the tests may show results that they are not happy with?

Unlike most americans I am really afraid of Mad Cow disease. Its just a phobia of mine…. losing my mind. There are very few diseases that scare me as much.
