Have some beef? Like your brains?...

In a move that is sure to make sure no one thinks of beef when they think of their brains turning to liquid shit, the media machine has started referring to Mad Cow, not as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, but as Brain-Wasting Disease. Hmmm... Brain-Wasting Disease... whatever could that have to do with?

Meanwhile, my veggie diet slips further and further away into memory...

So, what does this have to do with the price of flesh-eating cows in China? Well, because it's related to the price of flesh-eating cows. That's how moos get Mad Cow, after all, because we've decided we'll feed anything to our livestock as long as it'll make them tasty: meat, bones, brain, whatever. Now, in Idaho, there are nine new cases of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and people are wondering how in the world that could happen, as they wait in line at Jack-in-da-box...

Folks, seriously, I'm not saying you need to go veggie but, honestly, be careful about what you eat, at the very least. Watch the quality of your food. Shop at places like Whole Foods or Henry's, if you can afford it. If all you can afford is shit... it's time to change your diet.
