US investigators frantically trying to locate mad cow shipment

Unless and until our government takes some serious action to stop this, we'll continue seeing stories like this one. And five or ten years from now, when Americans start turning up with vCJD, the slogan "Beef: it's what's for dinner!" is going to seem downright suicidal.

The mad cow disease has resurfaced again after a gap of almost four years.
