I remember reading somewhere that mad cow disease can't be killed. They burn the cow and then where it once remained...those ashes...they find their way back into the food chain eventually.

Also today I was reading the Tipping Point (already a great book)...it talks about how small changes have huge effects. It also talks about how things evolve over time.

"Between June of 1955 and July of 1958, 81 infants in the Sweedish barrack came down with PCP and 24 died." He states how professor Goudsmit thought this was an early outbreak of the AIDS epidemic.

"The truly strange thing about this story, of course, is that not all of the children died. Only a third did. The others did what today would seem almost impossible. They defeated HIV, purged it from their bodies, and went on to live healthy lives. In other words, the strains of HIV that were circulating back in the 1950s were a lot different from the strains of HIV that circulate today."

So as greedy Agricorp rages onward...and you desire to eat beef...again I remind you of the Meatrix, and that we should stop refeeding these animals to themselves.
