- Wyoming's state motto is "The Equality State."
-
- This prairie state, once home to roaming buffalo herds,
now joins Texas and Missouri in a form of equality that they most certainly
were not seeking.
-
- Wyoming has lost its brucellosis-free status. That makes
beef from these three meat-producing states as "separate, but equal."
-
- Brucellosis in cattle can be passed on to man in the
form of Mediterranean Disease or Undulant Fever. These conditions are difficult
to detect and easily misdiagnosed. The symptoms include chronic fatigue
(syndrome), headaches, and arthritic pain. Once infected with Brucellosis
from cows, the disease can hide in the human body, emerging many years
after the initial infection.
-
- According to USDA, Brucellosis causes abortions in cows,
and can cause flu-like symptoms in cowboys and cowgirls. Consumers eating
unpasteurized milk or meat cooked rare can also be affected. So...if you
are still eating meat or cheese, ask your butcher or supermarket manager
whether your product had its origin in Wyoming. They will be clueless,
but their ignorance can help you continue on your course of self-deception.
-
- You will not have that problem if you live in Nebraska,
Colorado, California, South Dakota, or Utah. These five states have imposed
restrictions on cows from states that have lost their Burcellosis-free
designation.
-
- Before taking your next bite of cheese, carefully read
this information from page 222 of Mad Cows and Milk Gate by Virgil Hulse,
M.D.:
-
- "The following groups of pathogens can be involved
in manufacturing cheese made from raw milk: TB (mycobacterium paratuber-culosis,
Undulant fever (Brucella species), Disease producing Strep (Pathogenic
streptococci), staph food poisoning (Coagulase positive sttaphylocci),
staph arrhea that may lead to death (Entero-pathogenic Eschererichia coli),
Salmonella, Rickettsia, Virus species, Bacillus cereus, Clostridium perfringens
and Clostridium botulinum (can be fatal and cause death)."
-
- So, as you shake your heads at the pathetic state of
America's dairy industry and consider the shock value of today's notmilk
letter headline, you might be wondering why the other 45 of America's states
have not become united in banning Wyoming cows.
