Nat, strong action has been take to prevent BSE. Canadian farmers are no longer feeding their animals brains or spinal cords of dead animals. It is a long way to go before they discover that bovines feed in grass and grain!!! <<In addition, Dr. Robert Hills with Health Canada, said some farmers in Canada probably feed tissues from cows to other cattle.>> Talk about recyling :-)

<<Far from preserving rural idyll, the Common Agriculture Policy harms Europe’s farmland in two ways. First and most damaging, it artificially raises returns on a particular crops and thus encourages their cultivation in a manner that spoils the countryside. Farmers have an artificial incentive to squeeze more crops from every acre. That may mean cultivating more land that would otherwise be woodland or bog, or using bigger doses of nitrates and pesticides. monoculture leads to soil erosion and encourages horrors such as Holland’s manure mountain and the feeding of cows and sheep on the ground-up carcasses of other animals. The Economist, Jul., 1990.>> Quoted in Elmat's book 1990. The writing was on the wall. It just to be made sense of it.
