From the headline I was hopeful that the story would be touching on, if not outright discussing zoonosis. ( I've been writing about this for a while now).
But...
Even though Randy Olson, executive director of the Iowa PoultryAssociation
calls the current Avian flu outbreak the "worst animal
disease outbreak in Iowa's history" his vision is still the price of eggs, while ignoring and even misrepresenting the science
of it all.
"I want to remind
everybody that the food is safe to eat and that there is no human health consequence
to this disease. It’s very serious for the birds that are infected, but it is
only an avian disease not a human disease."
