No offense to Gene Nygaard intended, but though calorie is, in its most syntactically correct sense, a reference to a unit of measure and not the thing itself measured (food energy), very few lay people reading this article are going to know what food energy is, so I'm changing the reference back.

"No known cases of the disease have occurred in deer farms in the United States or Canada, but European farms in Scandinavia may have had several cases."

Is there any source for these "possible" cases in Scandinavia? External link, something?

[edit] Revert explanation

Hi all,

I reverted the removal of the mention of Trader Joe's and Alaska Airlines, because the edit summary associated with the removal seems to indicate that they were removed because they were considered "stealth advertising" or astroturfing, but the diff that introduced this language and these companies seem to have been made in good faith, because someone thought that this was notable information (a lot of other things were changed about the article as well). - RedWordSmith 17:18, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

I have no doubt it was done in good faith, but it's still a rather obvious breach of neutrality and pointless promo of companies with very tenuous relationships to venison. I removed them because they don't actually add much to the general knowledge about venison, not merely because I suspected a corporate rat.

[edit] US centric

Some parts of this seems to be fairly US centric. For example, I'm fairly sure venison has been a fairly exotic meat for a while in NZ, not something for 'unsophisticated rural dwellers'. And then there's the talk of doe licenses and cost. Worse, some parts are unclear that they are US centric Nil Einne 22:41, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
