Yet another reason to not eat cow.

This article appeared on CNN today. 143 million pounds of beef (but, let's call it what it really is, cow) was recalled today. The reason cited was because:
"cattle that had lost the ability to walk since passing pre-processing inspections were slaughtered without an inspector having examined them for chronic illness -- a practice...[that] violated federal regulations and had been going on for at least two years."
The article goes on to say that around 37 million pounds of the cow meat went to school lunch programs.

Yet another gentle reminder to those of you that still eat cow--STOP! Not only are you contributing to the general miserable life and death of these beautiful creatures, but you'll be saving yourself the worry of catching some weird brain disease and you'll have yourself a healthier heart (less cholesterol to clog up your arteries).
