Description:
This paper examines the reporting of the story of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) and its human derivative variant Creutzfeld-Jacob Disease (vCJD) in the British newspapers. Three 'snapshots' of newspaper coverage are sampled and analysed between the period 1986 and 1996 focusing on how representations of the disease evolved over the 10-year period. Social representations theory is used to elucidate how this new disease threat was conceptualised in the newspaper reporting and how it was explained to the UK public. This paper examines who or what was said to be at risk from the new disease, and whether some individuals or groups held to blame for the diseases' putative origins, the appearance of vCJD in human beings, and its spread. ...

bad!
I was ver disappointed with this, I was more expecting something that told more about all the how's, why's and where's...... This was more along the lines of statistics, surprising as they were... I'ts just I wanted more on where they have linked this to come from, our water? the use of antibiotics? pesticides????? All very big but yet simple questions I do still have. I have also wondered more about statistics as far as projected outlook, where do they think this disease will be in say 50 years? ... Read more

From the supplier: The effect of mad cow disease on the French frozen food industry was analyzed. The disease which affected the sales of fresh meat also lowered the sales of the frozen counterpart. The same trend was also observed for potatoes, ice cream, snacks and desserts and shellfish sales. On the other hand, breaded chicken products showed high growth rate on the domestic market.

From the supplier: Activist and advocacy groups scrutinizing the products and practices of the food industry include the Center for Science in the Public Interest, Food and Water Inc., Public Voice for Food and Health Policy and the Foundation on Economic Trends. Industry groups such as Grocery Manufacturers of America and National Food Processors Assn are learning how to respond to these groups. When before they chose to remain silent in the face of these groups'allegations, now they are making determined efforts to answer charges before they are blown out of proportion.
