Manganese responsible for 'mad cow' and vCJD?

[Mairead]

At least 2 people -- a researcher at Cambridge and an organic farmer/amateur scientist think so. Very interesting.

1. Sounds like some

BS put out by the White House.
Mad Cow has been proven time and again to be cause by feeding animal protein to herbivores

2. Actually the article is interesting tying Maganese to pesticides and the

depletion of copper. But, it sounds like it does need much more research. And, it doesn't mean that eating beef is safe until they find out. Or, at least "non-organically raised beef."

3. It's outrageous ...

That we allow these Manganese into our country. They are polluting our beef and harboring WMD. We should deport them back to Mangan and then declare War! BTW, Do they have any oil?
