That is just insane that Britain imported "animal material" from places like India. Talk about begging for disaster! Unbelievable...

As a general rules of thumb -

1) Don't eat anything that has eaten people.
2) Don't feed people to things people eat.
3) Don't eat anything that feeds on or derives sustenance from unprocessed human waste.
4) Don't feed something the remains of its own kind.
5) Don't feed something food derived from the remains of its own kind, or from its own unprocessed waste.

6) Don't eat people. It is generally not a healthy practice... to put it mildly.

Oh, and in the kitchen... Don't mix meats. Wash utensils and cutting surfaces before switching between different kinds of meats.

Setting aside the fact that cattle graze on vegetation and aren't meat eaters, but what's so special about human meat? Not condoning eating people, but we're animals.

#3 and #5 have been part of the European farm scene for ages. Night soil/human waste allowed to compost or what ever is done with it or too it prior to spreading on the fields exists probably world wide or used to, if present rules prohibit.

True! Eating people isn't healthy! Too high in saturated fat and choloesterol! The health concious canibal wants a healthy alternative, and that would be HUFU!

"Scientists must proceed cautiously when hypothesizing about a disease that has such wide geographic, cultural and religious implications," they warned.

Oh, so now politics and PC are rearing their heads in this matter? I guess it would be "insensitive" to another "culture" to show that some of their members earn a living by scavenging putrescent animal and human carcasses from filthy rivers.

Wonder what the relatives of these people think about their kin being fed to the sacred cows?

Apparently it is possible if people with certain diseases like CJ are fed to animals that are later fed to people they can pass on the diseases to the people that eat those animals.

Sorta 'cannibalism once-removed'.

Heaven forbid that this led to any criticism of Hindus dumping their half-burnt dead into rivers to be dredged up and sold as fertilizer later...that would be 'religious intolerance' doncha know; regardless of how many people might get sick and die with BSE apparently some Indian scientists think that politically correct 'sensitivity' to Hindu religious customs is more important than mere human health, not to mention entire herds of cattle being slaughtered and the problems in varying degrees this has caused to the beef industry worldwide :-(.
