Until the Dateline program on Friday night, 3/14, I had not heard about the
BSE-bonemeal-gardeners' connection either, despite having frontline exposure
to the rest of the BSE issue because of my work.

I have no details on how rendering is managed in Canada.  But when I return
from a week of vacation, I can ask some of our veterinarians for more
details on this.
