Mad Cow. Variant CJD. Government reassurance served with a side of crossed fingers.

This chat pulls apart one of the biggest food and trust scandals the UK has ever quietly moved on from. We’re talking about how contaminated feed made its way into the food chain, how “there’s nothing to worry about” turned into “ah… actually,” and why economic protection kept winning over public safety for far too long.

We also wander into the horse meat scandal, modern food security fears, and why transparency always seems to arrive several years too late.

It’s uncomfortable. It’s necessary. And it explains exactly why so many people stopped automatically believing the official line.

Brew optional. Scepticism encouraged.
