Safety of American markets from BSE is far from certain...so much so that studies released this week actually gave US government agencies, inclusive of the FDA, extremely low marks on enforcement issues that are supposed to better secure American markets.
As I first heard of it via the air waves and National Public Radio (February 27), I rather seriously doubt that Mr. Addison was the instigator. He's pretty good and knows how to pull strings. But I don't think he was the man behind this puppet.

I don't imagine you were actually saying that the GAO knows more about BSE than Harvard University. Nor were you trying to support those pointless anti-government sentiments we sometimes see on newsgroups. Especially since the USDA and FDA have been so successful in protecting our animal and human food supply with the aggressive measures already in place. So now that the USA is protected from BSE, we can concentrate on taking advantage of the animal fat surplus to make biofuels. Simple fuel making is so non-political that I hate to see us become involved in finger pointing and innuendo for no purpose but the self-satisfaction of it. So concerning animal fats, have we already formed a group opinion on whether thermal cracking would produce biodiesel from tallow? Yahoo!
