What the government isn't telling you about mad deer disease: "As British cattle began dying of a mysterious wasting disease in the late 80's, the agriculture minister tried to reassure a nervous public that eating beef was safe. John Gummer posed for cameras with his 4-year-old daughter, Cordelia, each clutching a burger. When the girl refused to eat, Gummer took a bite of hers. "Delicious!" he proclaimed. By the time the European Union banned exports of British beef six years later, the cattle industry was devastated and several people in England had already died from a deadly, brain-wasting disease."
