H1N1 was the government given to the virus but, it's street name was swine flu. Many don't know how this new virus came into the world but, MICHAEL POLLAN in a recent interview leaked some information.
"For example, during the swine flu epidemic, pork prices plummeted, because a lot of people thought you should avoid pork, and you could get—in fact, none of us are calling it “swine flu” anymore at the behest of the pork producers, who said, “Please call it H1N1.” And that’s why—and the media has gone along with this. "
" Yes, you can, but it doesn’t have to do with eating it. It appears that swine flu originated in a big pork plant south of the border in Mexico."
You may ask your self one question did our great government know and Pollan gives out more information on this too.
"But our pork confinement operations are kind of, you know, Petri dishes for disease. And this was all predicted. The Pew Commission on animal agriculture, which came out two years ago"
The goverment allegedly help rename the swine flu and saved the industry with a bail out package but, you may ask yourself how did so may kids get sick so fast Pollan explains this too.
" but the reason I was talking about swine flu was that it crashed the pork prices, and the industry went to the government and got a bailout, $300 million. The government bought pork to support prices. And what did the government do with that pork? They pushed it through the School Lunch Program. So this is what we’re doing, you know, with our children.
