What's for dinner?
Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman confirmed this afternoon that the first case of mad cow disease in the United States has been found in Washington State.
But Secretary Veneman wants you to know that she is serving beef at her Christmas dinner and you should feel safe to do so as well. Now why would she say that? Don't most people have turkey on Christmas?
Maybe she said that because her last job before President Bush called on her to run the Agriculture Department was as a lobbyist for the cattle industry.
Feeling safer now about eating beef? I'm sticking with turkey again this year.
