thank you.
I hate to come across sounding like such a wiseacre because I'm no expert, but it seems to me like this is issue much bigger and more dangerous than most people realize.

We don't... Eating it tonight... If the deer have it, so do the cows... Today, whats good for you??? Don't eat that or that or that, don't drink that or that or that... Don't worry, be happy, eat what you want... Somethings gotta kill ya sooner or later...
it's probably more likely that you'd get infected with some prion by breathing the dust from the bone meal you fertilize your roses with than eating the flesh of wild deer or sensibly raised cow, pig, or chicken. reality is that even if you are infected, you probably won't know it for 20 years. I'm not going to stop killing and eating deer or squirrels. I'm not going to stop buying quality beef, pork or chicken, but I am going to go out of my way to find clean, reputable, local sources for the meat I do buy from now on. I won't being eating any brain matter. not that I ever would, but I read a rather disturbing excerpt in a book about a very localized outbreak of CJD in Western Kentucky where eating squirrel brains was a common tradition. it was not a coincidence. the way I understand it, there is greater risk in consuming things that contain meat and bone by-products. the kind of stuff born in rendering plants and found in processed foods, fast foods, etc, and gelatin, of all things, is one of those things.
Gelatin is made from bone marrow, so it makes good sense.
So that damn good soup broth that we talked about in the soup thread.
