The good ol' US of DA

Its all over TV, different ways to make us look better, enhance our sexual performance, live a healthier lifestyle, cut down on those carbs, "Hey look ma! 0% transfat!" All the hype over calorie intake etc...well its funny to me, that people try so hard to better themselves, but fail and dont know where to go. Everyones paranoid about getting sick and food poisoning and "Back in my day, i remember eating my hamburgers bloody and rare, we knew no better." Now we do, why is it that people dont pay attention to the ever infamous Mad Cow disease, I myself dont eat meat, and havent for quite sometime, but for those of you that do, do you really think that the USDA gives two shits about you and your well being? Not in the least. Its a fact that despite finding cattle with cancerous masses on thier bodies, broken limbs, dead cows found on the slaughter house floor etc...the USDA approves this and deems this OK for human consumption. Another case of mad cow disease was discovered late last Friday, although still in testing stage, why in the hell would anyone want to take a chance of contracting it? Hearing "Mad Cow disease raises fear in americans' beef consumption." Then dont eat it. Very simple. Japan has already cut off beef exportation ties with the USA and im sure thats just the begining. The good ol' US of A is a money hungry beef eating country thats afraid to try something new, we live in the land of the free and the home of the unhealthy. Its really sad. ~ds~
