ENOUGH already $ NO MORE DISCUSSION PLEASE, WE NEED ACTION ! I strenuously urge President Obama to NOT discuss this for one more moment, actions must be put forth now, and enforce such actions. I strenuously urge President Obama to ENHANCE the feed ban to include blood, and enforce said regulations, based on sound science. I strenuously urge President Obama to ban the use of "poultry litter" and the use of all mammalian and poultry protein in ruminant feed,as a feed ingredient for ruminant animals, and enforce said regulations, based on sound science. I strenuously urge President Obama to ban the use of "plate waste" as a feed ingredient for ruminants, and enforce said regulations, based on sound science. I strenuously urge President Obama to ban from human food (including dietary supplements please see latest May 2009 CDC warning on these type supplements, CWD, and Elk Antler Velvet), and cosmetics a wide range of bovine-derived material so that the same safeguards that protect Americans from exposure to the agent of BSE through meat products regulated by USDA also apply to food products that FDA regulates, and enforce such actions, based on sound science.
