3. "Rendering" of cattle carcasses to make beef byproducts is a huge industry

And these "byproducts" turn up in an amazing variety of unexpected places. Many cosmetic products contain fat from rendered cattle, and the collagen from the bones is made into cheerful-looking, fruity gelatin. There are thousands of other "hidden" uses for rendered beef products, where consumers may not be aware that they are eating them. Given the extraordinary resistance to standard sterilizationn procedures of the agent that causes Mad Cow Disease, I have wondered about the range of potentially infectious but nonobvious products. This article suggests there are good reasons to be concerned.
