And now the cows get candy

http://money.cnn.com/2012/10/10/news/economy/farmers-cows-candy-feed/index.html?hpt=hp_t3

And this is why I'm buying a grassfed cow (my own personal October happiness about candy corn notwithstanding).

    Corn should not be fed to cows anyways! Both candy and corn is not what a cow should consume! Grass fed only is the key!

    Feed cows corn, grains, and candy to fatten them up. Feed our kids corn, grains, and candy and expect them to be healthy. It's funny that no one makes the connect.

    wow. there really isn't even an attempt at the perception of regulation here - this practice going "on for decades".
