Dear all,

Just thought you might be interested to know that the British Ministry of
Agriculture will this afternoon be announcing a total ban on all sales of beef
on the bone (T-bone's, beef rib, oxtail etc).

This announcement is due to some new evidence from the government advisory
committee on BSE that the agent responsible has been found in bone marrow and
is not just restricted to nervous tissue!

How long before they find it in blood I wonder.......
