And I also thought the origination of the strain had been discovered, yet now this latest back peddling. What to make of it? <br /><br />Interesting that you mentioned Smithfield Farms, who are notorious for their mass production/slaughter/mistreatment of pigs. These animals are overbred in overcrowded conditions that breed diseases and their excrement isn't ferlizer but more like toxic waste from all of the drugs they pump them with that runs off into our rivers and lakes and pollutes them. <br /><br />Let's see here...there's <br />Big AG, <br />Big Cow,<br />Big Pig, <br />and Big Chicken. <br /><br />And what's the recent news about a vaccine being developed for everyone around the world to prevent swine flu (or not swine flu) pandemic next year?<br /><br />Better add Big Pharma to the above list for that one (although they do have a profitable role in Big Chicken and Big Pig and Big Cow.)2Truthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06621258620190540140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22563831.post-10953115259627249792009-05-11T16:16:00.000-07:002009-05-11T16:16:00.000-07:00All I know is I'm sick with something, right now.
...All I know is I'm sick with something, right now.<br /><br />Swine flu? Sure, why not. <br /><br />"Flu which we can thank feedlots and poor practices for"? Sure, that works, too.<br /><br />'Smithfield's Best' would also work for me.<br /><br />I thought the origination of the strain HAD been determined, a week ago at least. Genes from three species: pigs, humans, and birds. Okay, let's compromise and call it the 3 Critters Flu. At least acknowledge the different genes involved.<br /><br />This kowtowing to the meat/feedlot lobby is really pissing me the hell off.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05592584406221528110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22563831.post-29646703745876668252009-05-11T15:23:00.000-07:002009-05-11T15:23:00.000-07:00Mr. will barrow,
