Based on extensive research and government documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, "Mad Cow USA" tells United States readers the truth about science, propaganda, and the meat they eat.
The human death toll from British mad cow disease is doubling every three years. A version of mad cow disease unique to the U.S. is killing deer across North America; young hunters are dying from it. Did they get it from U.S. deer? Or from U.S. cattle or pigs that were fed rendered byproduct from slaughterhouse waste? With a new chapter of their 1997 book, Rampton and Stauber reveal a terrifying tale of governmental neglect and industry malfeasance.
