No offense to the late Elvis Presley, but we now know that it wasn’t our cooking that has resulted in over a month-long ban of serving beef to our students at school. In addition, it is not just our district but also many schools nationwide that are heeding the cow’s advice and eating more chicken. According to several news sources, including CNN, the reason for the students wondering, “Where’s the beef?” is the slaughterhouse was being mean to the cows and we can’t eat sad cows. That is not the entire truth. What was happening is they were forcing cows that were too ill to walk on their own - to move along little doggie - to the slaughterhouse in a manner that was very cruel.
Cows that are unable to get themselves to their final destination are often candidates for e-coli, or even worse, mad cow disease. While no one so far has gotten sick from eating these unhappy sick cows, it is better to be safe then suffering explosive diarrhea, or worse. Thus, the massive beef recall.
