Your average kebab and burger bar will be selling the lowest grade meat. Reputable stores should be selling better grade meat, but who knows what they sell us at the end of the day.

The very first cases they didn't know it was cause by
Bovine spongiform encephalopathy. Their were a few mysterious cases at the time. I guess the doctors thought they had Alzheimers or at least some related disease, but not all the symptoms matched. Someone peiced together what all the mysterious cases had in common and found what they had in common was roses. The roblem was that a few gardeners using bone ash for their roses. They actually caught it* from coming in contact with the bone ash which had the BSE. *In humans it is called
Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease.
In America (at least at the time) any cow that wasn't suitable for market (any sick cow) was turned into the feed, and the cows that ate the contaminated feed were infected. I know what your think Upton Sinclair is spinning in his grave.
