    Default Carbon monoxide in our food?

    In 2004 the FDA approved the use of modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), which uses a variety of gases to help preserve meat and, in the case of carbon monoxide, keep the meat looking fresh. That was one year after the European Union banned the use of carbon monoxide because a review panel thought the practice would deceive customers and expose them to unsafe meat.

    And now with cloned products being produced, this should really make for some unusual health problems. I guess the only way to be safe is to become a vegetarian and grow your own.

    Montana would be nice but I heard the winters are hell. I'm thinking somewhere in the south Pacific

    Hard to grow cows in the South Pacific, isn't it?

    Or do you feed them all sugar cane?
