Disease Proof writes about a WSJ report on Chocolate Cows, Seriously. "As high fuel prices continue to cut into profits, farmers have resorted to feeding their cattle POTATO CHIPS and M&Ms—it’s cheap. Of course, no one knows the health implications of this junk food diet."
Cows evolved eating grass. In the US we feed them corn (even though it makes them sick) because we're really good at growing a lot of it and federal subsidies make it cheap. But corn prices have gone up (fertilizer is made from natural gas) and it's now expensive. Apparently potato chips and M&Ms are cheap, though they don't seem cheap buying them in a movie theater.
