These two are under control though. They are not going into waterway, one good flood though, and we are off to the races.

Here the first one is actually involved in a lawsuit

But perhaps you are correct, these issues about sustainability and water pollution and excess nutrients are not part of the united states. After all, North Carolina is on another place. I did not know that. Thanks. Now I know. And as they say, the more you know...

Here is what the EPA has to say about this by the way... you know the United Staes Environmental Protection Agency. I could side WHO, but who cares about those UN agencies? They are not american after all. And you should know our own very own, EPA getting sued by people for not regulating these issues very well, and something about regulatory capture, related to this, but not fully relevant.

They are pretty much aware of the issue Oh and you do remember the piggy flu that we had in Mexico? This is how these stories go international, The earliest H1N1 patients were in Texas, a couple years before, two or three actually, CDC has the data, nothing major, none died... next I will be told Texas is not in the US either... I am sure Texans will be happy. Anyway. it was not yet making the jump from piggy to human that easily. A piggy from one of these farms, from Smithfield, was sent to their facility in Veracruz, where for the record they have similar pits of crap... and that is when the H1N1 made the final jump to well, now I like humans fully and started killing people. So in case you are missing what I am saying, these pools are also thought to be good grounds for some, a very limited number, of emerging diseases.

As to the story coming from abroad... perhaps, sustainability and factory farming are very relevant issues of discussion in the united states. This piggy issue affects several states in major ways. In general how we grow food is very relevant to the generation of green house gasses as well, and for water pollution. So a company saying, no more, they are making a statement about that sustainability not your sensibilities. I personally would have gone for locally sourced, humanely raised, sustainably raised pigs... (and do the same for chickens by the way), but that tends to be far more expensive. For starters, no more cages where they cannot turn.
