The reason the Europeans are having Mad Cow Disease is because they were feeding cows stuff that a cow would never eat normally – i.e. they turned them into carnivores.

And the reason they are having Foot and Mouth Disease is because they have industrialized and concentrated livestock production to a point where it’s susceptible to all kinds of problems, including the rapid spreading of diseases.

Basically, they have problems because they have perverted the production of livestock, not because their food is so healthy.

As for GM crops, I think you’d be wise to remember the words of Albert Einstein – “Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal.”
