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 w LET EVERYTHING THAT HAS BREATH PRAISE THE LORD!

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.

(Bth Grade - Adult) 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.
