You will be glad to learn that the Bush administration has successfully crafted a response to recently
increasing concerns about an
increase in the domestic threat of Mad Cow Disease, or bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) and its human counterpart,
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD).
From Reuters (emphasis added):
The Bush administration on Tuesday eased regulations restricting the use of cattle parts in certain animal feed, a safeguard considered the main defense against mad cow disease.
The Food and Drug Administration said it would no longer designate a cattle's entire small intestine as prohibited material in cattle feed.
"FDA is amending the rule to allow use of the small intestine in human food and cosmetics, provided that the distal ileum has been removed," the agency said.
Now that madness appears to be the official language, policy and religion of the United States, why restrict it to deer and a few farm animals?
Let 'er rip!
