Start investing in Soy, RIGHT NOW!!!
A Mad Cow Scare. That tufu is going to look awful good to a lot of America's fraidy-cats.

Time to make out like a bandit.

Turkey and Chicken investors could benefit too.

1. I had heard a lot of the soy beans are genetically altered.
There's still wheat and rice.

2. soy shrinks your brain
or so a very extensive study showed.

BTW, only ground meats have a chance of transmitting CJD. Whole meats do not generally get contaminated with brain matter.

3. Not necessarily true:Recent research has shown prions in muscle tissue
in mouse models, opening the question as to whether other cuts of beef may indeed be a threat.

See the work summarized in recent Guardian article by Nobel Prize winning researcher Stanley Prusiner:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/bse/article/0,2763,851547,00.html
Muscle and flesh of cattle and sheep may harbour deadly levels of prions that cause variant CJD. This stark prospect, raised by the Nobel Prize winner who first discovered that these infective particles can cause brain illnesses, suggests eating meat may still pose a serious health risk.

4. Why didn't you mention this sooner?
I just put all my money in Hemp futures.

Anyone got the number to that Tyson chicken guy? I got $100 burning my pocket.
