The beef thing is overblown. They haven't had found any tainted meat. Most of it has already been eaten. No illnesses have been linked to it.

I'm not worried about getting sick, my stomach is like cast iron. It's the beating cattle while they're down and forcing shit and water into them. That's why I'm stopping. Not that anyone cares, here.
