...battery chickens are often similarly drugged. Though there is no indication that fish can harbor the bse prion, it is hardly reassuring to know that much of it is artificially farmed and fed with the same meat-based meal that has been outlawed for cows and other livestock. No wonder many Europeans agree with Berlin housewife Hannelore Schröder that they might as well stick with beef. "What else am I to eat?" she asks.
