Which is normally sprayed down to remove it because people don't like
bitting into bits of spinal cord pepering their stake. Not completely
effective but enough for me.

Those aren't cuts I normally eat. Can't afford them.

I haven't seen any evidance that BSE is in those nevers though.

Better than most. Not as good as some.

Mecanically sperated meat isn't something I eat too often unless it is
pig meat. I eat lots of pork sausage but seldom touch any processed
meat of the cow kind.

Now if dogs and cats started dropping from mad cow I would be worried
because they tend to get all of the parts of the cow that "didn't
enter the human food chain". When they start stumbling around then I
will chang my diet.
