And, agreed, do NOT eat undercooked hamburger. Burger = mince = bits = brains and spinal cord = abnormal prions = vCJD = your brain turning into a sponge over the next decade or two.
For this reason I don't eat mince products. On the rare (geddit?) occasions I eat meat, I want a slab of muscle, not bits. I could never understand why anyone would eat kidney. Thats the toxic waste processing facility! Would you picnic at the gabage dump?

This quote is mildly irritating me =)
abnormal prions would NEVER happen in the USA unless one is gutting their own cattle that are over 24 months of age because cattle younger than that cannot get mad cow and, brains and spinal cord are not included in any meat processed in the USA and they have not included for years. The only cases of CFJ in the USA in humans originated in England and those people came to the USA. Mad cow cases that were in the USA originated in Canada and Mexico where they still feed animal by products[not supposed to] to their cattle a practice that was banned in the USA almost 20 years ago. The reason not to eat uncooked hamburger has to do with e-coli a bacteria as abnormal prions are not affected by cooking.
