First case of "Mad Cow Disease" in the U.S.

[Inkiokami]

The foods we eat now are all sprayed with insecticide and weed killer, after which they are processed in various unhealthy ways, and finally have dangerous chemical poisons added to them to make them prettier colors or to preserve them longer, or to add deadly calorie-free sweeteners.

And people eat 'em anyway. People also still smoke, drive drunk, do drugs, go camping in Lyme territory, feed the bears at Yellowstone, build houses on floodlands....

I know. I was eating some celery a few nights ago and the last piece I had was kinda bitter and actually left my mouth with a sorta numbish feeling. All I could think of was pesticides being sucked up by the celery. :b

And this is why people should eat organic. And vegetarian.

That said, I broke down and had a hamburger last week due to some pretty nasty anemia (not diet-related). Mad Cow Disease was in the back of my head the whole time but that didn't stop me from enjoying my burger.
