I am a devoted carnivore, so don't get me wrong.... I just have to say there seem to be some missing parts to this report. It is my understanding vCJD can only be documented thru the autopsy process. No mention of such after death tests here. And if the tests are not done, how many cases have been missed?

The meat I feed my family is fed on a neighbor's farm and processed at a local locker plant. Not everyone has this luxury. But for those who have the option, it is a way to be fairly certain what the livestock have been fed.

Apparently being aware of what your beef has eaten and how it has been killed are two important things. The beef should have eaten no animal products and it should not have been killed with the stun thingy that pushes brain matter into the muscles.
