The avian flu issue has *nothing* to do with consumption, but with transmission pathways of avian viruses from birds to people. The issue appears to be hyped given the fact than transmission of H5-viruses to humans is very rare (i.e., ~60 cases resulting in death thus far) and geographically-limited (i.e., Southeast Asia). > I guess that is bad karma for eating meat-- How do you explain the fact that if an avian virus jumps across species to affect humans, it presumably will affect vegetarians at least as much as meat-eaters? It's an influenza virus and is spread by contact with it, not by mere consumption of animals infected with it. See: http://www.cdc.gov/flu/avian/gen-info/transmission.htm <...> |
