More on the Westland/Hallmark case
This comes from the New York Times, a surprising source for such a balanced discussion. Of course as you might surmise from yesterday's post, the Times has been surprising New Yorker's rather often this week. The author is of the opinion that in light of independent audits by companies, such as McDonald's it is unlikely that such abuse is widespread.

It figures - in the farming magazines I read, wipe-on insecticides have been shown to be the cause of BSE. However, the chemical companies have been able to keep that info. squelched and keep pointing fingers at the feed suppliers. Mark Purdy in the UK firmly believed that the chemicals were the cause, but he has died of cancer and now that he's not squeaking about the subject it is pretty easy to keep it behind closed doors.
Good story

It's time someone pointed this out with the evidence.
Has anyone checked to make sure the regular staff at the NYT isn't tied up someplace?
Nita, that was a new one to me, so I googled it. Very interesting. And I agree that the chain of infection has never been proven. Never. Not to mention that there is much confusion about even the properties of prions.
Jan, I know what you mean. Up until the past week I very grudgingly read the Times, simply because they can afford to be first at so many stories. Now I scroll down my portal page to read them first. It feels strange indeed!
