So, an American company running a pig farm in Mexico, residents were complaining for months...

about the conditions, is where the outbreak appears to come from, Ground Zero so to speak.

I go back to read the article on yahoo, all that part is now gone from the article. Anyone have a link?

Thanks

1. I read on dailykos that the link is bogus.

In fact, I read somewhere that calling it the swine flu is probably wrong because there have not been any cases of sick swine. I read that there are 2 avian strains, one swine strain, and one human strain. So, we might as well call it the human flu or the double avian flu.

2. What about the monster pig farms scattered across the US?

Those of us who practice organic gardening have been screaming for years that factory farming represents a major health risk.

3. Smithfield Farms? Here's a link, but I don't know...
