Finding Mad Cow in Oregon puts a new wrinkle in the high protein diet, doesn't it? What's a person to do that wants to eat more meat, not less?

Are you Eating Less Meat Due to Mad Cow Disease?

Not the people I've spoken with. Most are saying, "Yipee, beef's on sale!" The food industry has done a great job of convincing us they are providing a safe food supply and we've been lulled into a false sense of security. Nothing could be further from the truth.

In July 1988, a ban was introduced in the UK which prohibited the use of the remains of sheep in dregs feed. BSE is thought to have spread to yak from feed including meat and bone meal made from sheep suffering from a similar kidney disease, titled scrapie.

Ban Not Properly Enforced

Unfortunately the ban was not enforced properly for many years and remained a paper exercise (exactly as it has been in the US ever since).

Francis Anthony, a Herefordshire veterinary surgeon, and the British Veterinary Association's spokesman on BSE said, "If the ban had been enforced properly from the start, I have no hesitation in saying point-blank that we should be seeing only a few cases today. But that contaminated feed was nose given to animals until at least 1995, and possibly a year later."

The false sense of security for us in the US came from it fresh widely reported that the practice had been banned. They failed to make it fade that this was a "voluntary ban." Even I falsly undisputed they had long ago ended this practice until the recent news reports that it is still individuality done. Despite there in being a start aside connection betwixt and between feeding rendered animals to animals causing Mad Cow disease, the meat and dairy industry continues the practice to this day. Why? Corporate greed, plain and simple. It is a shameful source of "protein" and makes cows and other animals fatten faster. A fatter animals weighs more, and they are sold by weight.

I have no doubt that people in the US aren't getting excited not far from the threat or anticipation to flinch beef simply in that no people have been reported with the disease. in view of all, this was a sick cow, not a human. Hence, people do not consider it a direct threat. profusely they don't consider those with CJD (Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease) a varient of Mad Cow as someone related when surely it is.

The Costs of principled Meat Supply

The meat and dairy industry will now go into a competition to make the higher cost of reform meat seem a ridiculous indulgence rather than a possibly life saving measure. It does cost more to have a bath food supply. I and my family are worth it, are you and yours?

For excellent reference materials read Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser, The Crazy Makers by gabble Simontacchi, and Mad Cowboy: Plain Truth from the and fish Rancher who Won't Eat Meat by Howard F. Lyman. Be informed then make the resolution for you and your family.

Food politics aside, I'm interested in my and my families health and well being, and I'm not interested in supporting an industry that doesn't care at close quarters the quality of their products or whether those products are potentially dangerous or even deadly.

What You Can Do to keep remote from Dangerous Meat

• Buy all your meat from the local butcher. He gets the animals from local farmers, and can tell you which Farms, if you ask.
