The Pigs Strike Back.

Years of raising, breeding, and chemically altering pigs for food has come back (once again) to bite us in the ass.  What officials are calling “swine flu” has hit countries all over the world and threatens to reach pandemic levels.

“Officials said they had confirmed eight cases in New York, seven in California, two in Kansas, two in Texas and one in Ohio, and that the cases looked to be similar to the deadly strain of swine flu that has killed more than 80 people in Mexico and infected 1,300 more.”

The issue has forced the U.S. to declare a public health emergency.  This is just one more reason not to eat pigs.
