"BUT, following a people who the Holy Qur’an describes as ‘eating like a beast’ (white
race)—they eat anything that they want to eat and they do not care concerning the harm that it is
doing to their life." (p53)

"TO EAT MEAT is against our life and shortens the span of our life. We eat meat because it
is a habit from childhood." (p.63)

"FASTING DOES much for us. A three-day fast will tell the story – you feel better; your
body begins to feel lighter and not weighty as it felt when it was filled with food; your thinking
is clearer." (p.46)

"Both the libation and the practice of cutting off the heads of sacrificial beasts are
common to all Egyptians in all their sacrifices, and the latter explains why it is that no Egyptian
will use the head of any sort of animal for food." (P. 144; Herodotus)

"I will describe some of their (Egyptian) habits: every month for three successive days they
purge themselves, for their health’s sake, with emetics and clysters, in the belief that all
diseases come from the food a man eats; and it is a fact – even apart from this precaution –
that next to the Libyans they are the healthiest people in the world." (p.158; Herodotus)

The first three quotations are from "How to Eat to Live" by the Honorable Elijah
Muhammad. The next two quotations are from "Herodotus: The Histories" written 2,400 years
ago. The rest of this article chronicles just one example of how we pay for ignoring the divine
guidance of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and not following the traditions of our ancestors who
built the pyramids and a civilization that prospered for at least 4,000 years and fell only because
of invading barbarians (white folk).

Just before X-mas America admitted that there are some "mad cows" in the house. Has one
of Saddam’s secret "weapons of mass destruction" finally reached America? No, "mad
cows" are a product of human behavior right here in the good old USA and not some virus lurking
in some dark corner of the world just waiting to jump out at the innocent. "Mad cows" are
made by "mad", greedy people who run their world based on lies and tricknology. They lie
to the consumer and trick cows to eat themselves. In fact they cut off the heads of cattle, grind
them up and mix these "renderings" back into the feed for the cattle, turning herbivores
into cannibals and making them go "mad".

Since the outbreak of the disease in Canada, the USDA has increased the testing of cattle for the
disease. Secretary of Agriculture Ann M. Veneman said that her department tested 20,526 cattle for
mad cow disease last year out of approximately 35 million commercially slaughtered cattle.  The
only reason that they test any animal is that the animals can’t stand up when they go to the
slaughter house. When they spot a "downer", as they call it, they still slaughter the
animal, as they did this one on December 9th, and send it through the food system. They send brain
samples off to a laboratory in Iowa and then Britain, then two weeks after the animal parts are in
the food chain, they make the announcement. Now how smart is that?

According to ABC News seven states are trying to track down pieces of this slaughtered "mad
cow". But not to worry, they have quarantined the herd and are blaming Canada for exporting
this sick animal to America 4 1/2 years ago or maybe 6 1/2 years ago, depending on who you want to
believe. Quarantining the cattle herd is not the way to stop the disease. "Where is the feed
that this sick animal ate?", should be the question. Since the practice of feeding cow brains
back to cows was supposedly banned in 1997, revisionist spin doctors are trying to get the infected
cow’s age "right". We wonder how many times the age of this cow will have to change?
(smile)

On the other hand three and one half years ago when the Japanese discovered their first case of
"mad cow" disease, they went to mandatory testing of every head of cattle that went to
slaughter. According to a December 25, 2003 New York Times article called "Expert Warned That
Mad Cow Was Imminent", Dr. Stanley Prusiner, a neurologist who won the 1997 Nobel Prize in
Medicine for his work on prions, stated that the Japanese testing procedure produced this fall two
new cases of the disease in animals aged 21 and 23 months. The "mad cow" in Washington
state was 4 1/2 OR 6 years old.(smile)

Dr. Prusiner visited the Secretary of Agriculture six weeks ago to encourage her to broaden the
mandatory testing procedure because he felt that an outbreak of this deadly disease was destined for
America. His warnings were ignored and even now the USDA is trying to minimize the perception of
danger by claiming that the infected cow was born in Canada.

The USDA knows that this disease is caused by the behavior of the feed industry and not isolated
to a particular condition at a farm. The history of identifying this disease goes back to studies
done in the early 1900’s on an isolated tribe of cannibals on the island of New Guinea. Their now
outlawed practice of eating the bodies of their dead relatives caused this same type of "spongiform
encephalopathy" nervous disorder in members of the tribe who ate the brains and spinal fluids
of their dead relatives.

When these same types of symptoms popped up in herds of cattle in England in the 1980s,
scientists figured out that the practice starting in the 1960s of feeding cow renderings (including
the brain and spinal column) back to cows was the likely cause of this deadly abnormality. They
immediately outlawed the practice in England. America followed suit in 1997. However, the incubation
period of this type of disease in humans is up to 40 years. Therefore, there is no way to determine
how many animals or humans may still be latent carriers of the disease. When you add the fact
"that nearly a third of the country’s 10,000 feed plants were not inspected" last year,
you have to rely on the honesty of a set of people that the Honorable Elijah Muhammad characterized
as "eating like a beast".
