Bush still eating beef despite mad cow scare
Fri Dec 26, 3:30 PM ET

CRAWFORD, United States (AFP) - President George W. Bush (news - web sites) is still eating beef, despite a scare over mad cow disease which has prompted more than two dozen countries to ban the US-produced meat.



"He has continued to eat beef, he has eaten beef in the last couple of days," said White House spokesman Scott McClellan when asked how the president had responded to the announcement of the first US case of the disease in a cow on Tuesday.

Bush has spoken to Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman twice since the crisis erupted, McClellan told reporters on Air Force One as the president travelled to his Texas ranch, where he keeps a number of cattle.

"His focus is on the public health aspect of this. We should always be working to make sure that we're doing everything we can to protect the food supply," McClellan said.

"That includes looking at whether or not there are any additional safeguards needed in addition to the strong safeguards we have in place."
