6. "Said it was not in the food supply"? Who said that. Thats impossible

I'm from Britain and we had a large outbreak of mad cow disease (and subsequent cases of CJD) in the 90s. If a cow has got Mad Cow disease, Cows who have been fed and treated in thesame way are also prone to mad Cow disease.

Really do not believe this crap. They said the same in Britain at first cos they knew the economy would be damaged if people suddenly stopped eating British Beef (A Tory even fed his 8 year old girl a Beefburger to prove how safe it was knowing it wasn't safe.)

Have you got a link, cos it sounds to me like crap. In Britain it was the Beef we all ate in the 80s that was infected the worse. They kept it quiet then as the human strain (CJD) takes a decade or so to show up symptons. They then let it out in the 90s but said basically "Don't worry cos if you're fucked you're already fucked from the Beef ten years ago."

If i was in America i would NOT be eating Beef. They had pictures on TV of CJD sufferers. What a pitiful sight it is.
