And your point is?
BSE (mad cow disease) is a naturally ocurring thing. It was accelerated by
the idiotic practice of feeding animal 'remains' to cattle that normally
feed on vegetation.
There is nothing abnormal about the odd diagnosis of this condition. And
this does not, in any way, indicate a higher risk in the food chain. This
(vanishingly small risk) has always been present. The only change has been
the awareness of the disease and the vigilance to keep any suspect animals
out of the human (and any other) feed source.
