Good for you. Honestly, I don't feel bad when I hear about people dying from Mad Cow, Salmonella, Botulism, either. But then, to each his own I always say.

If only life was fair. I lived in Washington State during the infamous Jack-In-the-Box E. Coli outbreak of 1993. Several children died, including one child who according to the news, had "never eaten a hamburger." The child had caught the illness from a playmate who had eaten a tainted hamburger. (I have been a vegetarian since I was 12. But I remember wondering if somehow I could come down with the illness when it was in the news).
A dear friend of my mother's in SE MN died of Creutzfeld-Jakob (Mad Cow). We were never really sure how he got it. Maybe he ate British beef once or contracted it some other way. He was not vegetarian. But I don't think he deserved to die.
