Feeding Candy to Cows

I don’t even know where to begin with a response to this article on feeding candy to cows instead of corn.  http://weather.yahoo.com/candy-not-corn-cows-drought-140646818.html   It’s apparently chocolate that’s been recalled, unfit for human consumption, and there are still wrappers on at least some of it.

And I had a problem with them feeding corn to the cows instead of grass!

One of my favorite analogies has always been “your car wouldn’t run if you put sugar in the gas tank instead of gasoline and the human body is the same.”  What our bodies use as fuel is important, it is not just a matter of calories.  For cows as well as humans.
