Re: CJD
Go read the figures, there can be argued that a few more than the usual recorded number of Spongiform Encephalopathy sufferers have occurred. This is just a re badged disease for the sole purpose of destroying one of the strongest food markets in Great Britain. It used new powers from Europe to be put into action and has done nothing to stop the causes of the disease. In fact it can be argued that opening up the UK market to Europian imports actually increased the risk of CJD, we are now eating meat from countries that don't even bother to impliment health standards.
There are far more dangerous diseases to be dealt with in the UK, like TB for instance, (I won't even start on imported disease) it just happens that distroying a British Industry makes the UK a little more dependant on other nations, a good thing if you are trying to force a group of uninterested countries into a Huge Super Beuraucracy called Europe.

There was more than one case over here of people going down with this after eating a high amount of beef cuts, not brain or bone. It is still a relatively new disease and we learnt the hard way that the experts can talk out thier collective backsides at times.
