MAD COW USA IS NOW AVAILABLE AS A FREE DOWNLOAD:

 

On May 12, 1997, ABC World News Tonight reported that " people may not be

contracting Alzheimer's as often as we think. The bad news is that they may be

getting something worse instead. . . . This is about Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease.

It is fatal. It destroys your brain, and what is worse, it is infectious. "

 

In England, Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) has already become a household word

because of its association with that country's epidemic of mad cow disease. In

1996, the news that young people were dying from eating infected beef shook

England and all of Europe.

 

Rampton and Stauber, authors of the critically-acclaimed Toxic Sludge Is Good

for You: Lies Damn Lies and the Public Relations Industry, reveal how mad cow

disease has emerged as a result of modern, intensive farming practices whose

true risks are kept hidden by government and industry denials.

 

 

WHAT REVIEWERS ARE SAYING

" Most accessible and informative... a lively account...The language is clear and

straightforward... Sheldon Rampton and John Stauber tell this larger tale with

style, aided by accounts of some richly colourful characters. ... Their

exhaustive exploration of the people, the ideas and the growing understanding of

TSEs is thought-provoking... dancing prose. "

New Scientist, April 4, 1998

 

" Will be received with interest by a large number of readers of different

backgrounds and perspectives. "

Journal of the American Medical Association, June 24, 1998

 

" The kind of book you can't put down. It tells with great clarity a complicated

story that interweaves intrigue, horror, massive economic interests,

cannibalism, death, and some rather curious science. ... [The authors] have done

the legwork and research necessary to produce a solid accounting of the

affliction of mad cow disease, the mess that was made of handling it in Britain,

and its implications for the U.S. ... required reading. "

Chemical & Engineering News, April 20, 1998

 

" In a first-rate piece of investigative journalism, Rampton and Stauber piece

together the best synthesis of the problem I've seen. Mad Cow U.S.A. is an

important book. And it reads like a detective story. "

--Timothy B. McCall, M.D., author of Examining Your Doctor: A Patient's Guide to

Avoiding Harmful Medical Care

 

" It's not just cows that are mad--so are our so-called 'consumer protectors.'

You'll be mad as hell too after reading this dynamite book. "

--Jim Hightower, radio talk show host and author of There's Nothing in the

Middle of the Road but Yellow Stripes and Dead Armadillos

" It can happen here! Rampton and Stauber have provided real 'food for thought'

in this chilling, revealing book about what really goes on behind the scenes in

the meat industry. Every American family ought to read this book. "

--Jeremy Rifkin, author of Beyond Beef: The Rise and Fall of the Cattle Culture

" Gripping . . . important . . . highly recommended. "
