Mark Purdey's life changed one day in 1984, when a Ministry of Agriculture inspector told him he must administer a toxic organophosphate pesticide to his dairy herd. "It was as if my whole life became focused," he explained later. Passionately committed to organic farming and convinced of the harmful effects of chemicals in the environment, he refused to comply.
Those experiences led him to challenge the orthodox line on the origins of Mad Cow Disease and its human counterpart, variant CJD. Before they had a chance to prosecute, Purdey took the Ministry to court and won his case. Could the insecticide used in the official program have precipitated the spread of the disease?Purdey's quest to discover the truth was hampered at every turn by government bureaucracies and self-serving scientific cliques who sought to smear and marginalize him.
