red meat anyone?

Finally, USA Today tackles the issue with a pointed article that questions why the FDA hasn't simply banned the use of dead cows in cattle feed. Let's face it: mad cow disease only happens when you feed dead cows to live cows. It's a sickening, inhumane practice, but it makes ranchers money, and so there's tremendous political pressure to make it happen. If you've been eating red meat all this time, hopefully you're at least a little bit shocked that you've been eating meat from cows that were fed chicken litter, and those chickens were fed dead, diseased cows containing spinal cord material that could carry mad cow disease.

Knowing this, I'm not sure why any decent human being would eat beef anymore. It's technically not that different from reaching into your toilet bowl and chowing down on your own feces.
