I thought the latest mantra from our slutty mediawhores was "Dean...too pessimistic."
Any gloating about that horrific quake in Bam, Iran?

merry belated christmas.
we don't eat diary cows right? are they slaughtered at the same time as the cows we eat? is that the reason for the recall? this is one nasty disease and i don't trust ann v to tell us the truth.

Howard Dean is a mad cow!

Because of the greed of the cattle industry Republicans removed from a massive agriculture spending bill a ban on processing meat from "downed" animals, those that are too ill to stand when they reach the plant - like the one with mad cow disease.

I find the timing of the findings of Mad Cow ironic because "Fast Food Nation" is on my to read over the holidays list.
Didn't Oprah predict this could happen, and wasn't she dragged into court for slander?

This cow was apparently made into hamburger and was eaten before it could be recalled. Parts of the brain and spinal cord tissue were sent to a couple of different rendering plants near Portland, OR and Spokane, WA to be ground up into food for pigs, chickens, etc. There's lots of good info on this on smirkingchimp.com.

After you read Fast Food Nation, you won't want to support the corporate-dominated industry. Try to support local farmers and cattlemen instead - look for grass-fed cattle - usually organic. Because they use ground up animal parts in feeding pigs, chickens and other animals, it's safest to look for organically grown pork and chicken, etc. also.

Thanks Jennih =), I've actually been trying to do some of that for a while now, just because of the antibiotics, and growth hormones used in milk production, gaining mass on the cow etc...
I have to admit though I'm guilty of eating convenience food, and I'm hoping Fast Food Nation will help me break free of that habit.
