Swine Flu for fun and profit$$$
Swine flu is the result of greed at the expense of your health. U.S. Agribusinesses raise pigs in Mexico, because food safety laws do not apply there. So companies could raise hogs in filthy, abusive environments without federal oversight. When the flu broke out, Mexicans were blamed, and the Agribusinessmen walked away clean-handed, just like our other big businessmen have walked away clean-handed after causing the largest financial collapse in history.
Is the solution more regulations? Heavens no. Open up the market, so that local farmers can compete with these big bad boys. The big guys lobby for regulations, because they can afford build animal concentration camps in Mexico. The little guy has to farm in his own community, and abide by the rules that break him.
Big businesses bribe the congress, falsify food safety studies, create antibiotic-resistant diseases, and pass the cost and blame onto somebody else.
Save the world, and your health: buy local.
I wrote this because I think I might have swine flu. I'll find out for sure tomorrow, and blog about it. I usually don't worry about getting sick, but I work at a food factory, and will be around small children and the elderly this weekend.
