censoredally 0 Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Incidentally, "Swine Flu" is actually an unfortunate misnomer--the virus is actually a mash-up strain of pig, bird and human viruses. But, the mediathought "swine flu" would be catchy. Link to post Share on other sites

See Centers for Disease Control www.cdc.gov and The World Health Organization www.who.int/en websites if you would like to verify this. The ill-informed Egyptian officials ordered the culling (mass killing) of pigs thinking this would stem the spread. Horrible. Anyway, if you decide to stop eating pigs, do it because they are so damn smart (smarter than your dog and maybe some of your very young children) and because the conditions they are kept in are horrific, not because you think their flesh may be contaminated with flu. Yeah, that is horrible, they were going to die eventually, but still. Link to post Share on other sites
