Because many think it's a food safety issue. However it is a much bigger concern if it means that people are eating the brain, spinal cord, bone marrow and eyes of cattle infected with BSE. Other meats, especially those from muscle (as that is where 99% of our meat comes from), do not contain prions that will infect a person with CJD, therefore beef food safety for humans shouldn't be made such a big deal of, as you asked.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
