# But all the 'real meat' companies I have spoken to pledge never to sell meat from farms who have had BSE, F&M, etc.
This encourages farmers who rely on the Real Meat firms to hide infection, since they not only lose the herd, but also all future hope of a market.

I bouycott this sort of behaviour.

# BSE
should start to relax now as people actually know what it is (not that it will)
and the government could do more to support F&M farms as it's been known for years that there's no risk of transmission through meat, and that it doesn't affect quality as drastically as thought in the 60s

bird flu's gonna be the next casualty, although places like bernard matthews are at most risk and can afford to lose a million turkeys as that just about makes one burger, as long as it doesn't affect the decent farmers
