It is already making the news as more people are keeping chickens for eggs and meat and sharing and selling their excess.

A recent article that uses numbers from other nations to scare monger in the U.S.

Expect more fear mongering about Avian flu.

Remember we were told to change our eating habits because the mass poultry & egg operations can't stay clean.
Now eggs must be cooked to a certain temperature, no more fresh uncooked or runny eggs for breakfast according to the guidelines.
and the mass producers are allowed to dip the birds in bleach to kill the bacteria they can't control in their mass processing set ups.
