LETTERS: Breathing in the BSE molecules
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Godfrey Meynell (letter, 8 April) dwells on the virtues of organic farming. But if there is or has been a BSE risk arising from cattle, there must also be a BSE risk from eating "organic" vegetables which have been fertilised with bonemeal and ox-blood rather than chemical fertilisers. Or can the organic lobby give a categorical and scientific assurance that no one has been put at risk by eating organic food?
