Energy, health care, agriculture, climate change, global outbreaks like
swine flu. What do all of these topics have in common? Food. Thatıs
right. None of these issues can really be tackled without addressing
some of the fundamental problems of the food system and the American
diet.

That's odd about "the way you're raising pigs in America today creates a
perfect environment for the generation of new flu pandemics", subsequent:
"Oh, the industry response and the media response, by and large, is not to
pay attention to that part of the story." Guess I'm paying attention to the
wrong national TV channel as they said just that. Maybe they have more air
time for such things as they don't spend an inordinate amount of time doing
politically motivated ridicules...
It seems with the SciAm article

ges
that Charlie posted, taken with CAFOs breeding new diseases (from the
Pollan interview), maybe we should look to reduce our meat consumption
and spread out the area in which animals are raised to avoid the need
for antibiotic treated animals which can harbor resistant bacteria, and
easily transmit viruses.
What ridicules are you referring to?
