This is just ironic over load. The nation's beef supply is poisonous, but the government is after medical marijuana.
Why aren't they after cattle abusers? How many marijuana poisonings reported? Salmonella?
:grr: What a freaked up country we live in.
Most beef cattle are castrated, de-horned, and branded, painful procedures performed without any anesthesia. For seven months, calves graze on the range before they are transported to feedlots, where they are fattened on unnatural diets. Within six months, they reach market weight of 1,200 pounds and are trucked to slaughter. As with other animals to be killed for food, cattle are not given any food, water, or protection from the elements during the journey.
