Can you pass the steak sauce please?

Question

Doesn't this sound yummy?

Experts have long agreed that the fatal brain-wasting disease called Mad Cow is spread by the routine practice on industrial farms of feeding cows to cows---essentially turning natural herbivores into cannibals. (This practice of course is banned on organic farms.) Now a group of industry-friendly scientists have come up with a "solution" to the problem. Instead of discontinuing the practice of force-feeding bovine herbivores blood, manure, and slaughterhouse waste, scientists claim they have successfully genetically engineered a new cow that will not contract Mad Cow Disease, even when fed infected meat from Mad cows. Scientists have genetically engineered the cows to be born without normal nervous system prions, which go awry when an animal catches the disease. According to the researchers, the animals appear to be doing fine, so they apparently don't really need those prions anyway (even though they are there as a result of millions of years of evolution).

Answer 1

Steak sauce AND a hearty helping of Tabasco!

Ain't genetics wonderful?

My favorites are fruits and vegetables. They're bred for self-life -- not for taste. I haven't eaten a tasty tomato in years. Oh, they LOOK wonderful and they last freakn forever on the counter, but
:-p

Answer 2

This is frightening! It just reinforces my opinion that if you are going to eat meat, it is so worth it to pay more (almost double in some cases) for organic.

Thanks for the tasty tidbit!
