Why have government and industry waited this long to begin taking action, in the face of a “growing body of data and information that affirmatively raises public health concerns”? This book attempts to answer that question. In addition to telling the story of an exotic, mysterious and frightening disease, we have written this book to report on equally dangerous legal and political trends which threaten not only our physical health, but also our fundamental democratic rights to discuss and debate concerns about the food we eat, and to choose in the marketplace as informed, educated consumers.

So --- the unthinkable happened. Be prepared. It will probably happen again.
