Cattle now fed chips and chocolate...

Cheap Beef fed on Potato chips and Hershey's, yum...

As corn prices are going up, large scale factory farm operations are looking for cheaper foods to feed cattle. Cost-cutting measures like mixing reject M&Ms and potato chips with corn feed are no longer uncommon.

In the meantime, cattle ranchers raising grass-fed beef are struggling to stay in business, as more people are buying the cheap stuff. The Wall Street Journal recently released a news video on the issue.

So they've found a new method for making chocolate milk, eh? ;)

Ummm, not sure the beef cattle have udders. But those salty chips go great with chocolate, the perfect fix for PMS!
