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.

I think Canada does use soy protein much of the time. It's been illegal to feed animal protein to cattle for the Last 6 years. Personally, I'd still eat beef if most of the Canadian herd had BSE. It doesn't scare me. Does it really scare any of you??
