That CJ disease is still getting publicity here in Germany. The Brits seem to
have
fed their cows with pulverized pig shit that had spoiled. The cows got this
brain
dissolving disease, but were fielded out as studs before it was noticed that
they
carried the disease. The new baby cows have been born with it now and so goes
the
chain. The cases here, less than 20 a year, are thought to have arisen from
eating
the meat of the 1,2,3 generation cow, not from diving in their shitty water
holes.
