That would not only decimate the beef industry, it would also thoroughly and effectively destroy the public's trust in the safety of the food supply.

Not necessarily. Hoof and mouth disease is not transmissible to humans. So there would be no major panic among the public.

Yesterday, I checked with the butchers at my local supermarket. They indicated to me that there has been little or no commentary from the public or change in consumption patterns of beef since the BSE announcement.

It seems that people hereabouts are pretty sanguine about the situation.

I know I don't intend to change my longstanding habit, which is to use only solid muscle selections such as steaks and roasts of beef. When I heard that "ground beef" available in most supermarkets could contain portions of up to 1,000 animals in a package, I simply refused to play Russian roulette with such a preposterous scheme.
