In the wake of the largest beef recall in U.S. history, consumers are expected to keep eating beef.
Not even the horrific images caught by the humane society are keeping consumers from ordering meat at local restaurants.
Inez Gutierrez, owner of a local restaurant says, costumers keep ordering beef fajitas without hesitation. "Yes every day, all day, customers order carne asada tacos, burritos, fajitas it hasn't stopped. I don't see any difference in our business since the beef recall".
We contacted other restaurants in the city of Yuma and they all agreed, no decrease in meat orders.
So far no illnesses have been linked to the beef and consumers have endured other food scares but it is still good to be cautious.
Caroline Smith Dewaal spokes woman for the the Center for Science in Public Interest says it's critically important that consumers ask the retailers if ground beef they have is part of the recall.
Meantime, economist compare the beef recall with the mad cow disease incident in 2003, where beef exports dropped but domestic demand was the same.

UPDATE: As of 03/05/2008:

This morning, as I got ready for the day, I heard the story on my local news show, that meat was being banned and confiscated. I further heard that it was to be buried in a land fill??? I ran a search on the net to get abreast of the situation, and, as of this point, came up with the following out of Oregon: Congress has banned certain meat for consumption.

Update by SDRoads

John Ramsey, JonBenet, And The Woman I Was Once Mistaken For, Beth Twitty.

A news source informed me today that the "mysterious relationship" between JonBenet's father, Mr. John Ramsey, and mother to deceased Natalee Holloway was no longer such a mystery since way back in October of 2007. At that time frame, an article came out in a magazine expressing the right to free speech in sharing Beth Twitty's usage of her right to free speech through her expressions from the heart of feelings she has towards one Mr. John Ramsey. The wording used by Ms. Twitty was rather lovely, and heartfelt. I noticed something, though. All I saw of John Ramsey, within that article, in particular, was a rather sparkling picture of his face, yet, no expressions of the heart from him towards Ms. Twitty. (She had mentioned something about his sparkling eyes.) Oh, I am not denying that he may have wonderful feelings for this woman, I just found it a bit odd that it seemed to be a one-way street. If anyone, anyone at all, has any information to share with the feelings that John Ramsey may hold for the wonderfully strong and lovely Ms. Twitty, please inform our Camp, here in the comments section within this post. It would be a shame if there is some more information out there of things being a two-way street for this "couple", and it wasn't as readily shared with the public at large, or, as quickly. As for the accidental mistaken identity one gentleman had between me and Ms. Twitty, I am really not sure what happened there. All I can say is that, and this is directed to that gentleman, the one whom e-mailed me with possible leads to help solve the case of Natalee Holloway's disappearance and death, please, please, e-mail me again! Or, I shall be forced to forward the e-mail to those that need to know, such as John Ramsey's attorney, as a way to get to Ms. Twitty, and, quite possibly, the police. Please keep in mind I am not stating that with one hundred percent assurity you, sir, have information so desperately needed by authorities. However, I am saying, it seems you may. I had asked you if it's o.k. to forward your e-mail along to those whom may help a rather long while ago, with, still, no word back from you. Please, if you're reading this, consider contacting me a.s.a.p. I thank you.
Sincerely, SDRoads ... And that is my Commentary for this day... along with my plea!
