And the fact that the Cattle Industry lobby has manipulated the testing system in the U.S., for this, so that, essentially, NO cases will be caught. ( The cows are tested too young, and too infrequently ,for definitive results, then slaughtered for consumption. Please read ex-mass-cattle rancher Howard Lyman's "No More Bull" for the details on this vile chicanery . ) And the fact that a Yale Medical School study, which autopsied 100 cadavers that died of "Alzheimers", allegedly, turned up 48 with structures in their brains resembling "Mad Cow", in fact. If being concerned about this makes me "neurotic", in someones' eyes, well, so be it. Happy New Year! Thump P.S. We put a man on the moon, so the only reason a "suitable substitute" for hide glue hasn't been invented, is lack of demand. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.
