*shrugs* It's not bad for you inherently, but it's not something I'd be
messing with right now, especially given the news...2 cows isn't a big
deal,

Pen, at least officially, specifically for McDonalds, they only use
beef and not offal. Use of eyes and stuff, is, supposedly, a myth
invented by vegan propaganda. I am not sure where the truth lies, but
it seems likely to be the case. Meat is not that expensive, why risk
public relations trouble with adding eyes and such.
As for offal and such, that is, internal organs, I am personally quite
fond of internal organs such as liver, kidneys, heart, and even
brains, which I have not ever seen for sale in this country. I never
liked lungs though.
I agree, they are not inherently bad for you and in fact are quite
nutritious. But it is pretty much accepted fact that the main way to get
mad cow disease from infected meat is to use the prohibited stuff...nervous
system tissue and whatnot. Organ meat appears to be the secondary method of
transport, and normal meat cuts seem to be relatively safe, even from an
infected animal. Soo...people must have gotten mad cow somehow and I'm not
buying the vegan myth idea anymore...I used to think that too...
Peace,
Pen
