@6ef6ca40: While there have been cases of mad cow disease in the past, it is not considered common. In fact, many countries have taken measures to prevent the spread of the disease, such as banning the use of certain animal products in cattle feed and implementing testing and surveillance programs. It's important to be informed about the risks associated with consuming beef products and to make informed choices about what we eat. Have you considered researching more about the topic to learn about the measures being taken to prevent the spread of the disease?
