Mad Cow USA: The Unfolding Nightmare Paperback – August 1, 2003

by Sheldon Rampton (Author), John Stauber (Author)

4.7 3 ratings

See all formats and editions

The human death toll from British mad cow disease is doubling every three years. A version of mad cow disease unique to the U.S. is killing deer across North America; young hunters are dying from it. Did they get it from U.S. deer? Or from U.S. cattle or pigs that were fed "rendered byproduct" from slaughterhouse waste? With a new chapter of their 1997 book, Rampton and Stauber reveal a terrifying tale of governmental neglect and industry malfeasance.

My husband loved it

I'm glad I read this along with Lymon's "Mad Cowboy"

Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2005

Eeeek! After reading this I am never, ever eating non-organic meat again. And if I win the lottery I think I'll raise my own critters for eggs & milk (or better yet pay someone else to do it!). This book is frightening but helps explain why many of us feel so damned cruddy most of the time. There are so many toxins and chemicals and other assorted grossities in our food supply it's a wonder many of us are still breathing.

Parts of the book are a bit meandering and repetitive but I am very glad I took the time to get through it.

Spongio-fantastic! Encephalo-credible... A Great Read.

Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2009

Couldn't put this book down. More than 10 years old now, but as timely as ever.
