If you eat someone who isn't infected with a prion disease, you won't get it yourself.

So in that case, it's safe?

Problem is, prion diseases can and do spread via cannibalism, and they're incurable.

If you have a cannibal society, you're playing with fire.

But in that instance, it's safe?

You can get lucky?

As long as nobody has a prion disease, you're good.

In fact, you're good 99 times out of 100. Problem is, it only takes one infected corpse to take down a fuckload of people (anyone who ate infected flesh gets it), and when they die a cannibal society will end up eating them too.

Man, I am pretty uneducated in some things. But who isn't? x)

Thank you for this valuable lesson, Arthur.

_begins gnawing at your ankle_

Prion diseases are rare, and they're generally not contagious (unless you're a cannibal). That's pretty good, considering how fucked up and incurable prion diseases tend to be.

yousa tasty!

doomsday plot served

Thanks again for the medical history lesson

G'night fellas

In fact, BVE is mostly a problem because we feed dead cows to other cows. Bloodmeal is a common product in cattle feed, and the bloodmeal is often made with the spray dried blood of other cows.

Also, the latest planet of the apes movies was dumb as hell I hear

A lot of cattle farmers ended up "solving" the problem by feeding cattle bloodmeal to chickens, and then after slaughtering those chickens fed the spare chicken parts to the cows.

Ironically failing to break the cannibal loop, and still putting consumers in serious danger.

But did the consumers believe it

To stop mad cow disease from spreading and being a perpetual problem in the human food supply, literally all you have to do is stop feeding cows to other cows. Not even indirectly.

Stop feeding cows to cows, and you're good.

Did they believe that did anything though?

It wasn't about the consumers. It was to evade the regulators.

I asked you a goddamn question, Arthur.

Did. They. Believe it.

Regulation was passed forcing cattle farmers to stop feeding dead cow parts to living cows, so naturally they started feeding those parts to chickens and then feeding the chickens to cows.

Consumers didn't even know about it in the first place. It was regulators.

Thank you. Did any die for their ignorance?

Draw string.

For a sec I thought it was a monkey from ape escape.

That's the tip of his dick

He's buff but I bet he's super fucking retarded.

I honestly think you should have to pass an IQ test to join a gym, because the last thing we need is for a bunch of retards to get muscled up.
