Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

About two years ago I watched 20/20, 60 min. or some such program which 
discussed a rare brain disease(a protien caused the brain to be riddled with 
tiny pin holes which caused all kinds of horrible physical and mental 
problems)traced back to animals who were fed animal parts of other 
animals(check out what chickens, beef cattle and others in our food chain are 
fed these days. 
It was compared to a disease found in women in some country I can't recall 
who got the disease from canabalizing their dead as a religious practice.  
Sorry to relate such a horrible story, but the whole point is that they said 
that this protien is passed on to people in the US and elsewhere by use of 
bonemeal and bloodmeal.  They did not say it was in every bag, but there is 
not way to be sure..
I immediately stopped using them(I had always used them when I transplanted 
tomatoes and peppers---worked wonderfully with a little woodash) and have 
warned everyone I could who used it.  Yet I still am surprised when I see 
that very few people seem to have heard of it.  Didn't any of you 
spuarefooters hear of it.
At any rate please stop using these products---they made a point of Marthat 
Stewart recomending it's use on roses and warned people to stop using it.
I hope you don't think this is an over reaction---if you had seen the people 
affected by it you wouldn't use it(the protien gets into the food as well as 
the people{inhaling}.
No hat references today.
