AGAIN, IT IS ABOUT CONTROLLING THE FOOD SUPPLY.
Big agribusiness disease
Discovery of mad cow disease in the US affects the entire food supply, not
just beef or meat
The confirmation last week of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) -- mad
cow disease -- in a dairy cow outside the town of Mabton in Central
Washington has sent the US beef industry into a tailspin. Industry
spokespeople and the USDA have scrambled to reassure consumers that the
country’s beef is safe and that the chances are extremely low of any humans
contracting the debilitating and fatal Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD, the
human form of spongiform encephalopathy). Nonetheless, so far at least 28
countries have suspended the import of US beef, and the public remains
skeptical.
