Swine Flu Update

Threat Level Raised as Swine Flu Illness Spreads in U.S.

See the latest Associated Press Swine Flu Story here.

See what the Livable Future blog has to say about what we can learn from the Swine Flu outbreak here.

This is what the CDC has to say:

Q: Can people catch swine flu from eating pork?

A There is no evidence to show that swine influenza can be transmitted through food. Eating properly handled and cooked pork and pork products is safe. Cooking pork to an internal temperature of 160°F kills bacteria and viruses.

Download CDC brochure on Swine Flu here.

To prevent future disasters like this, please consider buying local, forest fed or sustainably raised pork. We need to spend our food dollars at small farms. Visit westonaprice.org/localchapters/ to find local sources of humanely raised meats.

    avatarI would have never imagined that I would be blogging, or that I would join a group like Real Food Media. None of this would have happened without you. I mean more than the help you have given me, though I appreciate it very much. I also mean seeing the great good you do with your blog, with supporting WAPF, with advocating real food and the great info you provide on so many issues. There is such a desperate need for this information. You are an inspiration to me. Thank you for being who you are, and for doing what you do.

    And, if it is a medical opinion you seek, by all means, call a doctor (maybe two or three)!
