While I do not subscribe to a the vast conspiracy theory, I do believe that there is an element in this country and abroad whose agenda is to cripple commerce here in the U.S. They take an issue like Mad Cow disease and with absolutely no supporting data contrive a massive risk factor to instill fear in the buying public. This is no different than the second hand smoke myth. Yes, most people who die of lung cancer were at one time exposed to second hand smoke, but what they dont tell you is that there is no data or statistics to support the theory that those persons contracted the disease because of that exposure. The fact is that the same people also drank milk as a child, but they know better than to link drinking milk to lung cancer, but the data is no more or less reliable. There are web sites that detail the validity of statisitcs gathering. We can all educate ourselves if we question how statistics are gathered and compiled. The Mad Cow scare is just another issue to scare Americans from eating Beef or drinking milk, thus crippling a certain segment of our economy.
