Quote from trendlover:
The year of emergence, 1998, was the year North Carolina's pig population hit ten million, up from two million just six years earlier.[12] Concurrently, the number of pig farms was decreasing, from 15,000 in 1986 to 3,600 in 2000.[13] How can five times more animals be raised on almost five times fewer farms? By crowding about 25 times more pigs into each operation.
In the 1980s, more than 85% of all North Carolina pig farms had fewer than 100 animals. By the end of the 1990s, operations confining more than 1,000 animals controlled about 99% of the state's pig population.[14] Given that the primary route of swine flu transmission is thought to be the same as human fluâvia droplets or aerosols of infected nasal secretions[15]âit's no wonder experts blame overcrowding for the emergence of new flu virus mutants

Killthesunshine, do not read this and think people can get swine flu, any flu from eating meat, not true, ok?
Meat has very good nutrients, BUT the farm factory to put too many animals too close together raising them and transport them is HUGE health risk. But that is big profit for some.
BEEF is nutrient SPARSE compared to almost any plant. calorie for calorie, beef is for shit. you are sadly mistaken thinking otherwise. WISE UP! Get your head out your azz!
