  PR Watch looks at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the multi-billion dollar animal livestock industry in their cooperation in a PR cover-up of Mad Cow Disease. Although reports of a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) disease showed up in dairy herds in the United States as early as 1985, the public never became fully aware of diseased cows or their links to Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) until 1996.

  E Magazine investigates fears of a Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) or Mad Cow Disease epidemic in the United States. Five years ago, in an attempt to stop the spread of BSE and its human counterpart, Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, the British government banned the feeding of cow and other animal parts to British cattle herds. In the United States, however, in order to produce stronger, larger cattle, the Food and Drug Administration has allowed the continuation of "cow cannibalism", leading some scientists fear for the health of U.S. cattle herds and U.S. meat consumers.
