That's why gelatin is a problem...you cannot destroy the causative agent...a 
prion, by cooking, even for extended periods of time, not even autoclaving 
works.
Follow this story in the  ACRES  USA newspaper...
This is one time that strictly 'organic' is no BS and even the occasional 
article in the NY Times is pretty scary....
This is one area to watch carefully.  
As a practicing dentist, my training tells me this area calls for strict 
control measures and careful avoidance of possible sources of the Prion.  As 
usual, it is buyer beware.  That cheap hamburg might not be such a good deal 
for your family.
Just a thought.
