California beef recall

Granted, I normally talk about some sorta gadget, my plane, or op-amps here on my blog, but this sorta thing really pisses me off:

No, I'm not a vegetarian, what pisses me off is that these infections are only due to industrial farming techniques. These cows are packed in together, fed corn (corn is NOT a natural feedstock for cows), and they even 'supplement' their diet with guess what, cow byproducts, which is where the mad-cow disease comes from. (Cows eating cow brains)

Go watch Food Inc, then do what I do, only eat beef from grass-fed local sources, and free-range chicken.
