Mad Cow Disease has effect on diet
I choose not to eat any
thing from a cow or pig.
There are simple reasons
besides personal choice:,
Hormones, antibiotics and
a total disregard for the
consumer’s health.
Now, there's a new
problem with the animal
feed given to cattle as they
stand around feed lots fat
tening up for slaughter.
Take heed or not, but
yesterday 1 got my latest
copy of the Nutrition Action
Health Letter printed by
the Center for Science in
the Public Interest. CSPI
is at Suite 300, 1875
Connecticut Ave, NW,
Washington, D.C. 20009-
5728.
CSPI is a non-profit con
sumer health group advo
cating honest food labeling
and advertising, healthier
foods in restaurants, pro
health alcohol policies,
safer food additives, and
sustainable agriculture.
The feature article was
about Mad Cow disease
and how it spreads to
humans. I hope you’re not
eating dinner and reading
this.
The cattle industry
eventually will have to
change the way it slaugh
ters cattle, according to
the story.
"Around 1980, the
British produced a meat
and-bone meal protein
supplement made from,
among other things,
slaughterhouse waste,
dead pets, and road kill -
diseased animals as well
as healthy ones”. Yuck.
Due to technical diffi
culties in the processing
plants, the article indicat
ed “the animal tissues
weren’t rendered (to
reduce, convert, or melt
down fat by heating) to as
high a temperature or for
as long as they had been
in the past."
Continuing, the story
charged, “Those changes
may have allowed enough
disease-causing prions td
survive."
A prion is a protein nat
urally found on the sur
face of nerve cells. The
feed mixture was tainted
with BSE which we know
as Mad Cow disease, from
the diseased prions.
U.S. cattle were fed the
same kind of feed as those

in England. In 1996, the
FDA banned feeding “ren
dered" mammals to cows,
sheep, and goats.
Great, but only 90 per
cent of U.S. Tenderers com
plied with this ban, accord
ing to the CSPI article.
The animal tissues most
likely to transmit BSE are
the brain and the spinal
cord." the writer of the arti
cle continued. “If you’re a
fan of hamburgers, hot
dogs, or luncheon meats,
odds are you sometimes
eat small bits of cow spinal
cords."
You can thank the
Advanced Meat Recovery
(AMR) process for that. In
the slaughter house,
“human deboners remove
all the meat they can as
each cow carcass goes
whizzing by on the produc
tion line. At AMR plants,
metal cylinders then rub
another one and a half
more pounds per carcass
off the bones" for maxi
mum profit, the writer con
tinued.

parts of the spinal cord can
end up in this mix. “Up to
10 percent of your next
hamburger or slice of
bologna could have come
from an AMR plant and
you’ll never know it. There
is no warning label for
AMR meat. The USDA sur
veyed seven AMR plants in
the United States. The
Feds found bits of spinal
cord in two out of 11 meat
samples," the CSPI article
stated.
Be clear about this: Mad
cow disease has not been
found in our domestic cow
herds. Our food supply is
not in imminent danger.
But, let’s get back to feed
ing cows organic foods
such as hay, alfalfa, and
oats not life threatening
"rendered” protein supple
ments.
Eat free range chickens,
turkeys and cows. Use
Horizon products like
organic milk, yogurt, sour
cream, and cheeses. Find
Horizon products in the
dairy or over in the nutri
tion section or try your
local grocery store.

dinner?? Pass the fresh
vegetables, please!!
