Mad Cow Disease

Seriously, what's the big deal? Not a single human case of this supposed dreaded disease. Granted, cows are a source of food but, really, there is not much in the way of real nutrients in red meat. There are much healthier foods that can be eaten. Perhaps this is natures way of saying to humanity, "Eat better, eat healthy!" Consumption of red meat has been one of the chief causes of hardened arteries and heart disease due to the high fat content. The US alone eats the most of this, hence the highest number of cases.

More and more people are being diagnosed as being sensitive to red meat. Besides, poultry has lower fat content than even pork, "the other white meat." Granted, pork, when prepared properly is actually better than red meat.

Admittedly, I, too, enjoy the occasional steak. But note the key word here, OCCASIONAL. So nobody's going to go running around mooing at everyone else. Despite the fact that this is not transmittable to humans, I think it's a wake-up call to our eating habits.

MOO! *chuckle*
