Brad, Indeed this may be a problem. Consider
that I got the information from your post and Darryl's reply. Have
you hands started shaking lately? Are you leaving the
last letters off words as you type? Hows the
memory? REH

organic?
Dear Brad.
There appears to be a
great discrepancy as to the understanding of "organic recycling"; or, perhaps
"organic". (snip)

As the article points out, the main
source of infection is from eating dishes made from the brain and/or spinal
cord matter.

This is, in fact, a fairly recent
phenomena that progressed from the slaughter-house need for more profits; ("Why
are we not selling every bit of the animal that we slaughter?"). Most
of this still goes into pet foods as do the animals that are deemed "unfit for
human consumption".
Your pet may now be the source of new
infections.

I have observed the "wondrous"
results first hand of genetically modified field corn in reducing the incidence
of European corn borer and corn earworm attack. This, in turn, reduces the
incidence of toxic moulds in the corn which is used as cattle feed. This was
accomplished by the use of Bt genes being placed in the corn genes. This has
also been done for sweet corn. Seems like a great idea. However, this
"adapted pesticide" is expressed throughout the entire plant. If it is perfectly
safe to eat this substance in the "novel food", why is it illegal (in Canada) to
use Bt as a spray on unadulterated sweet corn to reduce the incidence of pest
damage? When sprayed on the plant, it does not enter the food chain as it is
destroyed by U.V. radiation within 3 to 5 days and if it falls on "healthy"
soil, it is destroyed within 2 weeks. I never had a straight answer from the
Pest Management Regulatory Authority when I asked the question. (snip)
Things must be looking up. I remembered this post.
Well anyway, you can let you (r) cat go outside or you can use
rubber gloves when you do your meditations in the kitty litter http://www.users.cloud9.net/~bradmcc/litterbox.html and
be sure to wash before you eat dinner.
