“Mad cow” in Germany….
….for the first time in five years, a case of “Mad Cow” disease has been discovered in Germany and several of her offspring did make it into the food chain. Others were still on the farm, but the story doesn’t say if they were infected.
If you read carefully, you can see that the experts really don’t know what causes “Mad Cow”…..generally it is claimed it is due to contaminated feed…or feed made from animal by-products. My own non-expert opinion, with absolutely no scientific training, is that the “experts” should consider the pesticides that are routinely sprayed on commercial cows….particularly those that attack the nervous system.
Examining the chemicals most farmers use just won’t be considered, of course, Big Pharma pays too much to the right people to have that happen.
Note: there’s never been a case of Mad Cow in a grass fed herd!
