'I won't go run crazy over mad cow rumors'<\/p>\n
Although there is no evidence that beef contaminated with mad cow
\ndisease has entered the country, the central government has taken
\na number of precautionary measures, including the conducting of
\ninspections in supermarkets and traditional markets. The Jakarta
\nPost talked to some people about whether they thought this was
\nenough.<\/p>\n
Dani, 30, works for a company in Central Jakarta. She lives
\nwith her husband and son in Serpong, Tangerang:<\/p>\n
I went to the market this morning because I intended to buy
\nquite a large amount of beef. I found myself questioning the
\nvendor about where the meat came from. He said the meat was from
\nCentral Java. I bought it, but later in the day I asked a friend
\nof mine about what she thought. She said that although the meat
\nwas supposed to be from Central Java, there was still a
\npossibility it was imported. Now I'm scared!<\/p>\n
The news just said that the government was inspecting the big
\nsupermarkets, but not the traditional markets.<\/p>\n
Am I too jumpy? Well, I think I have the right to be scared
\nbecause there is no reliable information on the meat I bought.<\/p>\n
Yasin, 53, is a taxi driver. He lives with his family on Jl.
\nDewi Sartika, East Jakarta:<\/p>\n
I know about the disease, but it won't stop me from consuming
\nmeat and processed meat such as meatballs.<\/p>\n
I put myself in God's hands. If I go crazy or drop dead after
\neating something, then it must be God's will. I won't go crazy or
\nsomething just because of a rumor, right?<\/p>\n
