Has anyone else noticed the same trend that I have? I will overlook the sensationalist reporting about the swine flu (just something new to report besides the economy), to get to my cheif concern. Sure Swine Flu may not be as deadly as some other forms of illnesses out there that we chose to ignore on a daily basis. What concerns me most and what should concern you is the pattern. Well here is a little perspective for you H5N1, BSE/MCD, and SIV. You may recognize them more by their Colloquiel names respectively Bird(Avian) Flu, Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy/Mad Cow Disease, and finally Swine Influenza. See it yet? Poultry, Beef and Pork its whats for dinner.
I think its time the world and more importantly the US take an active interest the food chain. What we do is not sustainable. A steak on every plate is not attainable or sustainable; and nor should it be. As a society we need to start paying closer attention to where our resources come from be it the food on our tables to the clothes on our back. Its time we start to realize the true cost of the items we buy and the lifestyles we choose to live.
