Who remembers the mad cow crisis? The famous BSE. Becomes the variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease after is the man who gets sick (and dying because it is incurable).
Yesterday September 15, 2011, the NAC must give its opinion on the question "what role for animal protein in the diet of some animals for human consumption?" knowing they were quite favorable.
Why would anyone want to use these PAT? Because it's cheaper than feeding animals with plants. In addition, most of these animals are fed on GM soya American, because they need protein. So it would be a gesture to the ecology by recycling meat directly to French French meat (the idea to stop import and use instead of soy French they are not coming to mind, or so it costs too expensive).
Reassure us! The mad cow crisis still has some a lesson: do not eat any ruminant PAT! By cons, poultry, pigs, fish and shellfish themselves, PAT can eat, but not those of ruminants.
Reassure us! Obviously, they will avoid the PAT to recycle their sort of provenance, that is to say no cannibalism (to avoid re-contamination as a cycle with BSE). It seems fitting that on the sites of squaring, it is not super clear not to mix them so the carcasses? And then on a farm, the guy who feeds his animals had better make sure they do not eat in the mess of others.
Reassure us! Animals to label (like red label or organic label) must have a power plant as required in the specifications. So only those who are not ready to put the means to eat meat.
Well anyway, one thing: we still do not know how the first prion found himself in the first bone meal, what are the origins of BSE and all that. So it's still risky. Finally, according to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), not the risks are "negligible". "Negligible", it means that there still is no zero risk. But it's worth taking a risk even negligible, only to produce more meat cheaper?
