Research in Italy Turns Up a New Form of Mad Cow Disease: "there have been recent reports of unusual types of mad cow disease in France and Japan, and scientists say the discovery of new forms suggests that many cases of 'sporadic' human disease - by far the most common kind, responsible for about 300 deaths a year in the United States - are not spontaneous at all, but come from eating animals."
No excuse for inaction here, though that is pretty much what the industry and the Dept of Agriculture-dominated by meat industry lobbyists-are offering. Another reason for regime change: food security. Meaning, food for human consumption rather than maximizing industrial profits.
