You haven't heard of BSE (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy, or Mad Cow Disease)?

The likely cause of that disease was farmers feeding cows other cows (in the form of meal).
Lots of strange stuff happens in the name of making a profit.
- mortehu 13y agoIt's well known why you shouldn't feed a species to itself; they will be susceptible to the same pathogens, and the pathogens will accumulate from one generation to the next. Why are you making the leap from this to unrelated practices?
- jussij 13y agoThat practice was legal in the US up until 2009 and while that one is now gone, there are plenty of other whacky practices used in its place. As a replacement the next wacky idea was to feed cows with chicken manure mixed in hay. The only problem is cows can still be fed to chickens and the cows then eat the chicken crap, so exactly has changed? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/michael-greger-md/mad-cow-disease-california_b_1450994.html http://www.huffingtonpost.com/michael-greger-md/mad-cow-dise...
