October 2001, 34-year-old Washington State native Peter Putnam started losing his mind. One month he was delivering a keynote business address, the next he couldn’t form a complete sentence. Once athletic, soon he couldn't walk. Then he couldn’t eat. After a brain biopsy showed it was Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, his doctor could no longer offer any hope. “Just take him home and love him,” the doctor counseled his family.[1,2,3] Peter's tragic death, October 2002, may have been caused by Mad Cow disease.

I loved spending summers on my grandparents’ farm. I remember waking up to roosters crowing and the wonderful aroma of Grandma’s breakfast wafting upstairs. I’d rush out to help Grandpa feed our 40 sheep, two steers and the 50 or so pigs.

Traditionally, the first step in making cheese was to kill a newly-born, milk-fed calf and remove its stomach to make rennet. The rennet was derived from the inner lining of the abomasum, the fourth stomach of the calf or any other animal classified as a ruminant.

Cows are capable of strong emotions such as pain, fear and even anxiety about the future. But if farmers provide the right conditions, they can also feel great happiness. The findings have emerged from studies of farm animals that have found similar traits in pigs, goats and chickens. They suggest such animals may be so emotionally similar to humans that welfare laws need to be reconsidered.

The F.D.A. proposed banning from animal feed the brains and spinal cords of cows more than 30 months old. It also proposed banning the same parts of any animal not passed by inspectors as suitable for human food, any tallow that contained more than 0.15 percent protein and any meat contained in brain or spinal column that was separated from carcasses by machine.

  • BD's Mongolian Grill - Oldsmar
    There is one in Lakeland, and Oldsmar. You get your own ingredients (including tofu) at the bar for your stir-fry, then take it to the grill. Tell them you are a vegetarian, and they treat it the same as they do a food allergy -- they put separators between your food and others. Vegan options include: Sauces- Barbecue, Black Bean, Kung Pao, Mongolian Ginger, Mustard, Soy, Sweet and Sour, Teriyaki Soup, Vegetarian Chili; Salad Dressings: Balsamic Vinaigrette, French, Raspberry Vinaigrette. By the front door, they have brochures with nutrition/ingredient information. I'm not sure if their pasta and tortillas are vegan or not. Oh, and vegetarians get a discount but, both times I went, I had to remind the server that I was veg when the check came. It's an easy mistake since they serve only the rice and tortillas.
