My thoughts? Time to become a vegetarian..

Time to become a vegetarian.

I do think it's prudent to be as informed on this topic as possible. But giving up all meat is something I'd like to avoid. Steak is one of life's little pleasures.

Time to become a vegetarian.

Several years ago while discussing BSE I made the same quip to a Dept. of Agriculture official sitting next to me on a plane.

The response was "you can't escape it by becoming a vegetarian". Do you know why?

You may not have noticed, but the medical authority quoted in this article identifies himself as a "vegetarian advocate."

Worst thing you could ever do to yourself.

As far as Mad Cow, you have a greater chance of being hit by an asteroid than contracting the malaise. In a nutshell there is no proof of any kind that you can get MC by eating meat, only Brains & Spinal Cord matter. Even then it is virtually impossible. In closing, enjoy that steak and do not become a veggie. But don't take my word for it, just go to your nearest health food store and look at the people shopping there. 100% chance they will be sickly looking, with pasty spotty skin, unhealthy looking hair & nails. And a veggie will always be sick more that a meat eater. Enjoy!

"Given the new research showing that infected beef may be responsible for some (classical) CJD, thousands of Americans may already be dying because of mad cow disease every year," wrote Dr. Michael Greger, a physician and vegan advocate."

Last year lots more people died from dirty onions than from Mad Cow Disease.
