it's not "sheep scraps" perse, it is bones, hooves, and parts of the animal that are not used for anything else are ground and put into meal. this is what becomes a carrier for mad cow. there are a lot of people working very hard to put an end to this.
it's important to know where your meat comes from. back home there was a fantastic butcher that only dealt with local animals and almost only from farms with under 25 head of livestock. one of his specialties was 4-H project animals. no hormones, no steroids etc. fantastic meat!
I am not now, and never will be a vegetarian, I am after all at the top of the food chain. I eat plenty of vegetarian meals, simply because it might be the best way to eat a particular meal, for instance, chilie rellenos, beans, sliced tomatoes. no need for any meat in that one.
I am about to cut out commercially raised/large farm chickens. THAT'S a disgusting slaughter process
