We ordered steaks from Omaha Steaks and spoke to the salesperson yesterday. He said that sales aren't down which surprised me. He also said that they use muscle meat, not the brain or central nervous system. Apparently, mad cow disease is transmitted through the brain and central nervous system. It was mildly reassuring. I still haven't eaten red meat since the scare, but I sure will when those Omaha steaks arrive. YUMMY!
Sure he'd say that. Isn't it illegal to use brain/spinal cord tissue in meat products?
