U.S. Not Protected Against Mad Cow

And there's no excuse for this, either: it's a simple matter of feeding cattle (and other bovines) correctly, and not stuffing them full of plate waste, poultry litter and blood...

Last time I checked, bovines were ruminants, which eat grass. Why not feed them what they're naturally designed to eat? What a concept!

Researchers and the nation's No. 1 burger seller say the government is not fully protecting animals or people from mad cow disease.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
