As usual you don't even have a clue of what you post.

Consumers decide they want illegal drugs, too, Gason.  Does that mean that our governments should allow illegal drugs?  If demand for illegal drugs goes up, does that mean that we should cave into that demand and change the laws?

Consumers haven't had a choice on the BSE issue and you continually call for them to not have that choice by not making information available to them.  Do you always sell houses without letting people look under the rug for the hidden dirt?

#6 consumers were ultimately responsible for what happened in Canada due to BSE.

Reason 1. The example of the UK and every BSE positive nation prior to Canada where beef consumption dropped drastically after the announcement of BSE.

Reason 2. Canada chose to be very open and honest about proceedures and testing etc.

Reason 3. Consumers have chosen BSE to be a non-issue in North America based on reason 2.

The Canadian beef industry would have been a non entity if consumers decided they would stop buying beef. Instead they chose to look at the situation and weigh the risk and decided the safegards in place were/are sufficient. In Canada beef consumption INCREASED after BSE, a definate different outcome than would have been expected by looking at previous countries that announced a positive.

When you learn what happens in the real world please feel free to respond. Until then your constant lies will be exposed as your personal agenda.
