Default Re: OT: BSE (aka Mad Cow Disease) in the US

LOL, leftover beef byproducts in the US, that’s real funny. Why would they put it into feed when they can make shampoo and SlimJims out of it. Not to mention preformed hamburgers.

On a serious note, the US relies on soy protein for cattle feed to a large extent. (As I thought Canada did) We have a surplus of beans, which makes them cheap. And they add bulk, which eliminates the need to add fillers (sawdust/corn stalks) to the feed.
