		<description>The US official stance is, that there was never any spongiform encephalitis in any animals in the US, when it broke out in the UK and herds got destroyed.
 The scientists who went to New Zealand to learn what was killing natives, learned the true horrors of the disease. 
The bottom line was, there is no known way to kill it or stop it, except avoidance.
AND, that the meat industry slaughters animals too young to really know if they are infected.
 AND, that spongiform encephalitis has been in the USA for many decades, evidenced by things like old news clippings from the 1930’s, of herds of sheep infected with Scrappie, being buried on the back 40, etc.
It is found in far more animals than just cows or sheep. 
It is even being found in wild herds of deer and elk, that unfortunately have been fed bait feeds by those wanting to capture/kill them easier. 
NONE are looking at other animals to see if it infects, say, chickens or turkeys, which are fed ground up dead same-species animals. 
OR any other animals that get fed same-species waste-parts. 
Feeding dead creatures back to ones’ herds used to be considered “good animal husbandry practices--not wasting anything”. That is wrong. 
But we STILL do not know where it came from or what really causes it. 
The so-called infective organism may not actually be the entire, real culprit. 
It used to be thought that spongiform encephalitis was a rare thing; it infected certain people from 
certain sects of Jewish descent, for instance. 
Until they discovered the staggering, falling natives in New Zealand. 
Suddenly, it was being recognized more often, and in diverse populations. 
Governments and food industries got scared, started pointing fingers, and making denials. 

It causes holes in the brain, kinda like swiss cheese. 
It causes neurological incoordination, til finally the creature cannot stand or do anything for itself. 
It can take decades to manifest, depending on the amount of exposure. 
It is not destroyed by fire, ice, chemicals, or any combo of those.  The only way to stop it, is to stop eating infected animals; make sure that IF one eats animals, they are old enough to have started manifesting symptoms to warn us off. 
One of my old teachers died of it back in the 1970’s. 
Another lady who never traveled to England, died of it in Contra Costa County, CA, in the early 1990’s--those are 2 who I personally know of; if I know of 2, there are others--it’s a big country. 
With all that in mind, is it any wonder the food industry has been working overtime to make fake foods tolerable for the masses? Question is, what are they using [pink slime, etc.], and how do we know those base-ingredients are not &quot;infected&quot;, as well?   Welcome to the world of “Soylent Green”??</description>
