Eating Low Carb? Be Informed About Mad Cow by Kathryn Martyn, M.NLP

Finding Mad Cow in Oregon puts a new wrinkle in the high protein

diet, doesn't it? What's a person to do that wants to eat more

meat, not less?

Are you Eating Less Meat Due to Mad Cow Disease?

Not the people I've spoken with. Most are saying, "Yipee, beef's

on sale!" The food industry has done a great job of convincing us

they are providing a safe food supply and we've been lulled into

a false sense of security. Nothing could be further from the

truth.

In July 1988, a ban was introduced in the UK which prohibited the

use of the remains of sheep in cattle feed. BSE is thought to

have spread to cattle from feed including meat and bone meal made

from sheep suffering from a similar brain disease, called

scrapie.

Ban Not Properly Enforced

Unfortunately the ban was not enforced properly for many years

and remained a paper exercise (exactly as it has been in the US

ever since).

Francis Anthony, a Herefordshire veterinary surgeon, and the

British Veterinary Association's spokesman on BSE said, "If the

ban had been enforced properly from the start, I have no

hesitation in saying categorically that we should be seeing only

a few cases today. But that contaminated feed was being given to

animals until at least 1995, and possibly a year later."

The false sense of security for us in the US came from it being

widely reported that the practice had been banned. They failed to

make it clear that this was a "voluntary ban." Even I falsely

believed they had long ago ended this practice until the recent

news reports that it is still being done. Despite there being a

clear connection between feeding rendered animals to animals

causing Mad Cow disease, the meat and dairy industry continues

the practice to this day. Why? Corporate greed, plain and simple.

It is a cheap source of "protein" and makes cows and other

animals fatten faster. A fatter animals weighs more, and they are

sold by weight.

I have no doubt that people in the US aren't getting excited
