Great idea, right up there with feeding cattle brains turning then into mad cow carnivores.

Big corp farming wasn't responsible for feeding cattle beef trimmings. (In the U.S.)It's usually frowned upon by big corp farming (if not outright banned) to have the trimmings of slaughtered animals fed to livestock. Feeding a cow the trimmings from slaughter is much more expensive than feeding them the equivalent in grain. The only place this isn't true is on smaller farms where the people doing the slaughtering live on or next to the farm or in regions of the world (Europe) where protein-rich grain (soy) is less abundant.
