I’m not sure which is worse: feeding herbivorous cows the flesh of other livestock, or feeding them junk food. Cows Fatten Up on Potato Chips, Pretzels explains:
If the black cattle at the Herr family farm seem eager at the trough, they have good reason. No mundane meal of corn and hay here. This feed is spiced with a snack food-lover’s smorgasbord: potato chips, cheese curls and pretzels.Blessed bovine elsewhere in Pennsylvania get even sweeter treats: chocolate balls and Frosted Mini-Wheats.
While cattle have been eating human food byproducts for years, more farmers this winter are filling the trough with snack food goodies, a money-saving solution to high corn prices caused by last summer’s drought.
