As you will see, because of Mad Cow Disease, if you eat meat
in North America right now, you are practicing choice (a).
You could think of it as similar to Alzheimer's, but the difference in
severity is like comparing AIDS to the common cold.

http://www.vet.ksu.edu/features/pdf/cwd.pdf Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) is a specific, infectious, neurological
disease of deer and elk in the United States and Canada.
There is convincing evidence that the new variant form of Creutzfeldt-Jakob
Disease is caused by the same agent that causes bovine spongiform encephalopathy
and is the result of ingesting beef contaminated with brain or spinal
cord tissue from affected cattle.
The cause of CWD, and the other TSEs, is not known for sure, but has been
associated with the accumulation of an abnormal, protease-resistant protein
referred to as prion protein in the brain and in some instances, eyes
and lymphoid tissue of affected animals.

http://www.dfw.state.or.us/ODFWhtml/InfoCntrWild/PDFs/q&a_cw.pdf Q: What is Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD)?
A: CWD is an untreatable, fatal neurological (brain and nervous system)
disease found in deer and elk.
It is believed that the agent responsible for the disease may be spread
both directly (animal-to-animal contact) and indirectly (from soil or
another surface to animals).
A: Infected animals begin to lose bodily functions and display abnormal
behavior such as staggering or standing with very poor posture.
A: CWD has not been shown to affect humans at this time.
However, health officials advise hunters not to consume meat from animals
known to be infected with CWD.

With BSE spreading all over the world -- as news reported that
animal fodder were imported -- the share prices of lysine (animal growth
stimulant), pig and poultry feeds, and poultry production companies strongly
rose on February 5 despite a drastic fall of the KOSPI composite.
Recently, the international lysine price strongly upturned as demand for
botanical feeds (instead of animal feeds) is expected to enlarge due mad
cow disease.
The international lysine price surged to US$2,100 per ton last December
and to US$2,500 ~ 2,600 per ton in February (vs. US$1,250 ~ 1,320 per
ton in 3Q00).

Prana Biotechnology is a biotechnology company seeking to commercialise
its existing patented Platform Technology, with applications covering
a broad spectrum of age-related diseases, particularly Alzheimer's disease.
Prana's intellectual property portfolio has emerged from research conducted
at the Massachusetts General Hospital (the largest teaching hospital for
the Harvard Medical School) and the University of Melbourne, headed by
three of the world's leading Alzheimer's disease experts, Professors Masters,
Bush and Tanzi.
The Company is in the development stage, and because commercialisation
of any product is not likely for some years, investors should view the
shares as speculative.
Given the quality of the research and drug development efforts to date
and the calibre of the scientific team, Austock believes that Prana is
well positioned to achieve commercial success.
The work conducted by these institutions has identified compounds for
the possible treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

Veneman has dealt with dairy trade issues as deputy under secretary
for international affairs and commodity programs at USDA, and as secretary
of the California Department of Food and Agriculture.
Until now, dairy has largely escaped the battle over genetically modified
foods that's swept Europe, and to a lesser extent the U.S. Most analysts
do not look for any rules involving dairy and biotechnology to emerge
from new World Trade Organization talks.
The U.S. will not gain a foothold in global dairy markets with cost-competi-tive
skim milk powder even if the U.S. government discontinues its price support
program for nonfat dry milk and other dairy commodities, according to
economist Scott Brown, dairy program director at the Food and Agricultural
Policy Research Institute at the University of Missouri.

When you hear about statistics and probability it is often
in connection with a health scare such as the one about Creutzfeldt-Jakob
disease (CJD).
Based on the available data, from 1985 to 1989, she worked out that the
expected number of cases in the United Kingdom over this period was 3.6,
and reported that the probability of 10 or more sporadic cases of Creutzfeldt-Jakob
disease occurring in people aged 15-39 in the six years from 1 May 1990
is 4 in a thousand.
In this article you can see that the argument hinges on the interpretation
of observed data compared to predictions.
