Yes, Michael Pollan and others have been observing for some time now how the CAFO system can produce dangerous new agents of disease.

Of course, when we talk about the abolition of CAFOs as a great evil, the human-health issue is of secondary importance.

Practically, though, it may move those people who are otherwise blind/insensate to the ethically primary issue.  So by all means, let us hear more from Kit Stolz and Dr. Jerome Groopman.

Chickens deserve our true friendship! So do fish! So do other sentient beings! Let us learn to be kind.

It almost seems to be some sort of eco-justice Canis.

Get food from a system based on cruelty for bottomline efficiency and reap the superbugs.  Remember "War Of The Worlds"?  The viruses finally killed the alien invaders.

Has our culture turned into an alien invasion of earth?  I think so.  We have alienated ourselves from the symbiotic natural system from which we sprung.

What goes around comes around.....

People do not care about their own health nor that of the creatures they share the world with,,,, so if a superbug is the reason many people died, do you think people will care? NO. People will continue to eat the sick and innocent animals, because humans have got so resistant to change that they would rather die than change!

Our society does not care about finding a cure, but rather "put a patch on the problem".

The really sad thing about this superbug is that some company somewhere is cashing in on the medical research to find a "cure" and some CEO is probably happy that there will be a need for the drug that kills the super bug.

The Golgafrinchans took over tens of millennia ago, unfortunately.  That's the reason that modern humans and those who aspire to be like them don't care about the Earth; they're not from here originally.
