prions have been around for a long time, but they haven't been in FOOD for a long time. That's why people didn't notice. It's only been relatively recently that cows have been fed on bits of other cows (which is how the disease spreads)
edit: nevermind, my post would have been more appropriate for P&N - (or B&M - b!tch and moan)- about how a company is being denied permission to test all of their cattle for mad cow disease. (because it'd look bad for the big companies)
