Dean, the original poster, "Skunky," has never had a rational thought
in her life. She posted this sheerly as a hand-wringing,
fear-mongering exercise - "Oooh, look, see eating meat is BBAAD FOR
YEEWWW!"
That's the level of discourse she's capable of. Nothing more.

Keep eating that meat, Abby. Especially any
tissue with nervous system cells. We'll use you
as a willing tester. :)

that is what people in the UK have been doing. You are five times more
likely to die from falling out of bed than you are from nvCJD. Be as
hysterical as you want, the tests have been run, the odds are known,
If you worry about risk then don't, whatever you do, travel by road, many
times more dangerous than any CJD varient

except that we have been eating many millions of sheep, with nothing removed
for the same period. And there are still only 20 a year, as opposed to 100 a
year falling out of bed. So I'm afraid you will have to look for something
else to get hysterical about. Howabout soya or nuts?

There is always global warming/cooling, depending on the day's
temperature.
I forget, are eggs good or bad for us today? I think there was once a
scare raised
over canned food. The cans were supposedly going to deteriorate and
get into the
food. Has anyone investigated the plastic wrappers used for bread?
