Pork Industry Boo-Hoo: Whine of the Swine

The pork industry have their tails in a curl because all this talk of "swine flu" is taking a chunk out of pork prices.

They might find a bit more sympathy floating around if it didn't look quite so much like the virus was caused by, bred in, and released from their own farms.

If the USDA is stepping in anywhere, it should be to reign in unsafe megafarming practices on account of the possible health risks to the world population.
