    Everyone who eats meat, sells meat, raises meat on a farm, except of course in India where people lay starving to death in the streets as nice healthy cows walk by laughing at them.

    any animal is not off limits as far as i'm concerned...as long as the body can digest it i don't see an issue.

    taboo is for suckers.

    i heard once - and it stuck with me - that for ancient Egyptians - cats were the eyes of the gods on earth. I didn't have a cat till I was a married man. ..... :blush2:

    I also heard that when a cat sleeps on your stomach they slowly breath your soul out of your body. I'm glad I sleep on my stomach.

    As I undrestand it, it is allright to eat any animals that graze and eat vegetation only. Which pretty much leave out Cats, Dogs and Pigs also.

    No. Cows were being given feed that was made from cow byproducts.

The infectious agent is distinctive for the high temperatures at which it remains viable; this contributed to the spread of the disease in Britain, which had reduced the temperatures used during its rendering process. Another contributory factor was the feeding of infected protein supplements to very young calves.

    Kinda makes me happy that I haven't eaten beef since 1982.

    That is a religious belief and subject to scrutiny.

    By the way, I know of several dogs and cats that love to eat grass (some like smoking it too) :prrr:
