by British animal feed companies turned the unwanted remains of dead animals into animal feed for vegetarian animals, turning many of them into cannibals. British farmers also nearly infected the whole nation with Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (Mad Cow Disease).I went to a Red Cross site to give blood this week, but was told to leave without donating. Turns out I’m in a “deferral” category, having spent more than three months in Britain between 1980 and 1996. It’s related to mad cow and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. I might have eaten spinal cord or brain tissue from infected cattle. I became vegan in England, so this whole thing is richly ironic for me. If we were all vegan, mad cow disease wouldn’t be a thing. Nor, presumably, would COVID-19.Counterpunch Lee Hall - Wet Markets and Wild
