We are not vegetarians because the Biblical Dietary Laws require us to be vegetarian (they don’t), but we are vegetarian because the animals used for food in this industry are made to be unclean, by the methods and conditions of their “production.” A cow becomes an unclean animal when it is fed sheep brain, no matter what form the sheep brain is converted to and, as this story demonstrates, the people who eat the unclean beef are made to be unclean as well.

The mother of a Spanish man who died from the human form of mad cow disease has also died from the illness, Spain’s Ministry of Health says.
“It’s noteworthy that there’s a double case in the same family,” Badiola said.
Until now, Badiola added, clinical evidence that he’s seen from the United Kingdom and France — which have had the most deaths due to the human form of mad cow disease — had not recorded two cases in a single family.
The mother, in her early 60s, died last month. The government confirmed Wednesday that it was because of mad cow disease but did not, by custom, make her name public.
Her son, 41, died in February from the same disease, Badiola said.
The latest confirmed case makes a total of four deaths in Spain from mad cow disease since 2005.

Indeed, please err on the side of caution when it comes to this issue of cancer and cell phone usage. It’s better to be safe than sorry. The only phone we have is a cell phone, but we have used less than 75 minutes on it since March.

The head of a prominent cancer research institute issued an unprecedented warning to his faculty and staff Wednesday: Limit cell phone use because of the possible risk of cancer.
The warning from Dr. Ronald B. Herberman, director of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute, is contrary to numerous studies that don’t find a link between cancer and cell phone use, and a public lack of worry by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Herberman is basing his alarm on early unpublished data. He says it takes too long to get answers from science and he believes people should take action now — especially when it comes to children.
“Really at the heart of my concern is that we shouldn’t wait for a definitive study to come out, but err on the side of being safe rather than sorry later,” Herberman said.
No other major academic cancer research institutions have sounded such an alarm about cell phone use. But Herberman’s advice is sure to raise concern among many cell phone users and especially parents.
