WHEN IT'S A HOUSEHOLD
"What do cows have to do with me? I don't have one
eating grass in
my backyard!" This might be your first reaction to the statement
above. However, items manufactured from inedible beef by-products surround
us in our daily environments. The soap you washed your face with this
morning; the baseball equipment in the closet; even the sheet rock and the
paint on the walls of your home - all of these contain a by-product which
is derived from cattle! When you take a photograph of a friend or
some beautiful scenery you are using a beef by-product. Silver
halide crystals are the active agent that makes modern photography
work. But you have to hold them in place somehow, so gelatin (a beef
byproduct) is used to hold the silver halide crystals on the plastic
backing to produce the familiar photographic films that we use today.

| Did you know that it takes 3,000 cows to supply the National Football League with enough leather for a year's supply of footballs. Now, why do they call it the ol' pig skin? |
