Yeah, if one cow was found to have it... think of how many there are that haven't been found. Sorta like finding an ant lost in your living room... there's gotta be more.
On a side note, one can only catch bovine spongiform encephalitis (sp?) if the meat isn't thoroughly cooked right?
Only 50 people died? It's a terrible way to go though...

McDonalds stock is falling in price, because you know that they use real beef...
No. Those excess parts are shipped to McDonald's processing facilities.Also, isn't all of the left over parts of the cow(not eaten by us) just passed on to other animals?
