Reply #7: Not just burgers [View All]

It's everything that's made with/from downer cattle products. Even facial creams.

I've seen and heard a LOT of veggies both here and in other places gloating- yes, gloating- because of this BSE/CJD scare. What they don't realize is that, even though they're veggies, there's nothing about that that will protect them from this.

I'm getting a little sick of it, mostly because veggies all over the place are saying stupidly insensitive things like "it's a GREAT time to be vegetarian!" and other such nonsense. And yes, exactly that was said on another thread on this very board.

Aren't rendered beef products also used in things like vaccines? Garden fertilizer? People who use bone meal in their gardens also appear to be at risk.

Basically, from what I'm learning, if you have ever eaten or ingested beef products of any kind, you are at risk. Reminder: beef products are not just used in foods. Shoot- prions in your bone meal, and a cut on your hand?

Being a Veg won't protect you from that. Sheesh.
