The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's August, 1997 regulation permits known TSE-positive [transmissible spongiform encephalopathy) material to be used in pet food, pig, chicken and fish feed.
What did you say?
Mad Cow material. It is neatly packaged in cans and bags, with cute pictures of happy pets, for your beloved dogs and cats ...
But ...
Well, your dogs and cats probably'll die anyway before their brains turn soft ...
But ....
And the rest is nicely bagged up as feed for the pigs, chickens, and fish.
But we ....
Eat chicken, do you?
Yeah ...
Well, that chicken ate grain with ground up Mad Cow to spice it up.
But the kids ...
Your kids like them hot dogs, I take it?
Sure, but ....
Those little piggies ate Mad Cow mixed with their dinner, first.
What about ..../
Fried fish for take out, huh?
Uh-huh.
Fish eat sick cow ground up into fish feed.
But doesn't ... I mean, I thought the government ...
Oh, Bill was right there, making sure you were protected.
Well, I would hope so.
Sure, he filled his FDA with Monsanto people http://www.monitor.net/... who required that known spongy brain stuff be labeled ...
HANDS OFF? WATCH OUT? POISON?
Well, no, not quite. But ever vigilant, with all the care that Monsanto brings to genetically engineered bovine growth hormone in dairy cows
whose milk has produces a 7 times greater risk of breast cancer
http://www.sustdev.org/...
or its genetically engineered corn
which causes liver and kidney toxicity
http://www.organicconsumers.org/...
or its genetically engineered potatoes ...
Rats fed GMO potatoes had smaller livers, hearts, testicles and brains, damaged immune systems, and showed structural changes in their white blood cells making them more vulnerable to infection and disease compared to other rats fed non-GMO potatoes. It got worse. Thymus and spleen damage showed up; enlarged tissues, including the pancreas and intestines; and there were cases of liver atrophy as well as significant proliferation of stomach and intestines cells that could be a sign of greater future risk of cancer. Equally alarming - this all happened after 10 days of testing, and the changes persisted after 110 days that's the human equivalent of 10 years.

... Bill's FDA saw that spongy brain junk and they yelled from the rooftops - DISEASE, GET IT AWAY FROM OUR ANIMALS AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ?
Not quite.
They burned it?
Well, no ...
They buried it?
Uh, no ...
Well, what did they do with it?
They boldly labeled it ... "Do not feed to cattle and other ruminants" ...
Whew ... no Mad Cow ... for cows, or goats, or horses.
But that was only when marketed in the United States.
You mean they sent it somewhere else? And without even that even that eeny, weeny, teeny bit of label?
Yes, elsewhere, like the third world, it wasn't on packages when it was sold.
Geez, you gotta love those poor black and brown people for taking this garbage off our hands, don't you? Well, they're hungry so we have to help them, right?
Yes, true.
And at least here Bossy the cow doesn't get any Mad Cow, any more.
No, but we aren't sure she doesn't have it already.
What?
She is so loaded up on Monsanto's genetically engineered bovine growth hormone her milking life is cut by 2 years and she gets ground up early. So, she might be sick with Mad Cow but she since she is ground up early, the farmer doesn't have a chance to watch to see if she gets sick before she's mincemeat.
And then my dog eats her?
Or your cat.
Or my kid ...
who eats hot dogs, fish stick and chicken wings. You got it.
We don't let anything go to waste.
Well, of course not. It's a buck, after all, right?
Right. Lots of them, I guess.
Ask Monsanto.
Aren't they the ones who made Agent Orange, PCBs, pesticides ...
That's right.
Why are they handling food now? Shouldn't they be in undertaking or something?
I see your point - all that experience ...
Yeah. Lot of practice in killing people and things.
Why don't you ask them?
I think I better. Where can I find 'em to ask 'em?
At Hillary's right hand. Ask Mark Penn, her long-term adviser and campaign strategist.
