Thursday, Nov 5th, 2009

The pork industry desperately wants you to believe "the Big Lie" about swine
flu: That it can't infect pigs, and therefore it's perfectly safe to buy and
eat lots and lots of pork products.

It's a merry little tale, and it would be a nice little piece of information
to pass along if only it were true.

But it isn't.

H1N1 swine flu can and does infect pigs. And the safety margin for eating
pork products from H1N1-infected pigs is not well known.

In fact, the USDA just confirmed H1N1 infections in commercial pigs (the
kind used to make those pork chops you ate for breakfast). This is the first
time that a commercial herd of pigs has been publicly acknowledged to be
infected with H1N1 swine flu by the USDA. (And we all know from watching the
USDA's behavior on mad cow disease that the agency goes to great lengths to
downplay any such reports.)

The timing of the announcement is, not surprisingly, highly suspicious. Just
a few days ago, the USDA negotiated an end to the pork import ban placed on
U.S. pork products by China. Before the ink on that agreement was even dry,
the USDA - surprise! - announced they had discovered this H1N1 infection in
commercial swine in the U.S.

This particular commercial herd of swine was located in Indiana. (The USDA
isn't saying where.) But here's the best part: The USDA did not ban those
pigs from being used in the food supply! At least I couldn't find any such
report after scouring the web looking for one. This means these swine flu
infected pigs could end up on your dinner table (if you eat pork, that is).

This isn't the first report of H1N1 infecting pigs in the USA, by the way. A
few weeks ago, H1N1 infections were confirmed in show pigs at the Minnesota
State Fair. Nobody seemed to care, since people weren't planning on eating
those show pigs ("Looks good on stage, but tastes even better on the
plate!"), but now that H1N1 has been found in commercial herds, suddenly
things seem different.

H1N1 swine flu has already been detected in swine herds in Canada,
Australia, the UK and many other countries, according to an AP report. So
this discovery isn't exactly the world's first.

Of course, any rational pork eater would have already figured out by now
that the H1N1 virus is so mild, it poses virtually no health risk to anyone
with some vitamin D and a healthy immune system. So technically speaking,
even H1N1-infected pork probably poses no real threat to your health.

Then again, eating pork isn't a very rational act to begin with, especially
given that pigs are smarter than Man's Best Friend (your family dog) and
that they're treated quite inhumanely in the pork producing factories and
slaughterhouses. But I guess if you're crazy enough to eat dead pig flesh, a
little extra H1N1 probably won't cause you any more harm.

By the way, H1N1 has also crossed from humans to cats and infected a cat in
Iowa (http://content.usatoday.com/communi.). Since H1N1 already contains
viral fragments of bird flu, human flu and swine flu, it makes me wonder how
crazy things might get if it now starts combining with house cats. Could we
soon be looking at Feline Swine Flu?

And the reason anyone would care that the pig their bacon came from
had influenza is?

No, just answer the question. Why would anyone care that they were
eating bacon from a pig that had influenza?

I've only ever heard that lie from you. It goes along with a lot of
other lies I hear from you. What I'm not hearing is why it wouldn't
be safe to buy and eat pork products. The problem is...what exactly?

It IS perfectly safe to buy, cook and eat pork when the pigs have the
flu. What ever you do, don't listen to Mark Hansel or you will be
limited to eating tofu as he is suspicious of pork, beef, chicken and
anything else raised by mankind.

Right. Of course you can't say why it would be dangerous to eat pork
products from pigs that had the flu. That's because it wouldn't be
dangerous. Assuming of course that you don't prefer your pork raw.

Well, we'll give him a bowl mix of strained peas, strained carrots,
strained cream of corn with a plate with two or three tofu squares on it.

For you and me there's looking forward to a real delight -- sizzling
barbequed porterhouse steaks smoked over a charcoal briquette BBQ, with
piping hot baked potato (sliced with a pat of butter inside) in a tin foil
tent, white rice and pan cooked big white mushrooms.

Sure it is. The influenza virus, no matter what strain, is not heat
proof.

A nice juicy glazed piping hot ham. MMmmmmmmmm.

Nice freshly cooked hot pink ham slices with veggies, and a cold glass of
milk or coffee on the side.

Dee-licious..

or how about a ham sandwich?

But in the morning, nothing beats the smell of piping hot crisp bacon, and
freshly made eggs, freshly made toast with raspberry jam and coffee.
