...disease, which can jump to humans in the form of a fatal brain illness, is another concern. It's believed to be a product of serving cattle parts to cattle. The practice was banned in the U.S. in 1997, but beef tallow is still allowed in feed (along with other "supplements" like chicken feathers)--a source of continuing controversy...

Housman learned from Harvard’s strong contingent of seniors how to feed the post and put Harvard’s big men in position to cause damage. He also developed a strong rapport with Goffredo, whom he played with in a summer league before entering Harvard (and will play with again this summer), and his feeds helped facilitate the junior’s breakout...
