The first cases of BSE or "mad cow disease" could have been caused by animal feed contaminated with human remains, says a controversial theory.

I can see it now -- herds of cattle having acquired a taste for human flesh go rogue, trampling cowtowns across Texas. Soon, only one lone small-town sheriff, with a deep dark big city secret in his past, stands between that herd and the obliteration of all mankind. But he is a resourceful man and can redeem himself from that secret past by saving mankind -- soon --
Steaks for everyone!
