Description. World In Action. A movie about CJD transferred from VHS and digitised for upload to youtube. Please note that this was broadcast in the late 80s or early 90s and things have changed since then, with regards to dementia research and mad cow disease. Since horses are less likely to get CJD, the meat industry secretly substituted equine flesh to diffuse the potential cross-infection. If you buy processed meat products, you've probably eaten horse. A lot of dementia cases are unexplained, probably linked to eating beef so, since stopping horse meat being sold as beef, the risk of getting CJD has returned. Considering the vast choice of meat substitutes available in most shops this is a good reason to become a vegetarian, 'like wot the hoofbag is'.
