Cameron's Research Journey Continues!

I don't know. I'm getting stressed out from this paper's due date being a few weeks away. I mean, I've found sources, but I feel like I need more. That my paper will be lacking in some way. The last time I did research, I happened upon this article by J. Weeks called, "Factory Farms." I found this article in CQ Researcher, an online database that I haven't used yet, and took notes on some pretty interesting things. I found out that a disease called Bovine Spongiform Encephalupathy (something I can't even pronounce) killed many consumers who ate packaged meat. This disease occurred recently in cattle, and was caused by the cattle being fed, "ground-up cattle parts", such as brains and spinal tissues from sick cows. I also learned that raising the cattle in tight confinment helps to spread diseases quickly.
I've been finding good information, but a lot of it has been mutual between my other sources. I know I definitely have to find more sources then. Great...
