Tow #23 Cow Urine

American's are known for having a large amount of love for their cow steak/hamburgers, but is the United Kingdom for cow urine? According to Mid-day articles, "Plastic bottles filled with cow urine, which had been marked for '"religious purposes" were found in several London stores which also happen to be selling food" in close proximity of the cow urine. Although not a lot of native UK people are requiring these products, most Southern Asian Hindu's that happen to live in London are demanding this product. Because it is illegal to consume cow urine in England, the article states their unknowing as to whether it is illegal to have cow urine put on the external body; as they explain how the "Hindu's come to buy it, if a baby is born it may be used during religious ceremony for good luck" and for other external purposes, letting the audience know what kind of religious actives that it could be used for. By first introducing the product and the unusual demand for it to American's it allows others, who aren't living in the UK or aren't Hindu, to understand along with imaging a visual (not that all people would like to imagine others consuming/being covered in urine for religious/everyday events.) And if people were wondering who came up with the religious idea, the author goes even deeper in telling when and who had created the religious action," A Hare Krishna temple in Watford, Bhaktivedanta Manor....sad the temple had been selling cow urine since the early 70's". Once the background is covered, they take a step back about go back to the real issue at the hand; selling these bottles of urine next to food. As the FSA, Foods Standards Agency, said although it is illegal to sell the urine for human consumption, when applied externally it would not be considered food - although it could be subject to other legislation." Now that they doesn't necessarily go cause any illegal consequences when consumers, the court could still charge the stores for having the product particularly close to the premises of the food which would expose them to harmful disease. By picking apart the article one by one, and eventually going into depth then back to the original question, it allows the readers to understand the material easier.
