Of course many people don’t check these things out. Least of all “journalists”. How many American voters actually took the time to check out the Presidential candidates THOUROUGHLY? Always remember, you reap what you sow. And the American people are getting exactly what they have sown over the years… There is nothing new under the sun.

Hi there, thanks for this. I just got the Canadian version from my friend who never checks this stuff out and blindly believes anything that comes in the form of chain mail. Its very frustrating when people are creating, like you said, urban myths, by merely making something up and sending it to 30 of their friends. Does any body research this stuff anymore????

Thanks for clearing that up. Didn’t think it was true when I received an email from my frantic sister with two little boys. We all endeavor to be safe but too often these bogus emails are too quickly believed. If you google CDC BSE homepage and/or South American beef products, you can see they (and many other countries) are keeping up with current trends and world market demands as you point out.
P.S. I like Texas Beef too!!

Thanks. I also just saw this on another website. Why don’t people check things like this out before they publish them? It hurts their credibility. I Googled this and it only took me a few seconds to get an Urban Legends article from 2002 that shows it to be misleading.
