Much as I love pigs and their related meat products I think this is possibly a very good idea.

But then I've spent the past few days panicking about the oncoming pandemic.

well, when England had the BSE epidemic they slaughtered 4.4 million cattle. just some perspective.
But cattle actually carried the disease.
certainly not 4.4 million of them.

the authorities were freaking out like mad mullahs. these were the same people who thought feeding chicken shit and cow meat to bovines was a good idea.

You should panic. I've been suggesting that all my clients invest in canned goods and shotguns.
PDH!

If it makes you feel any better you're more likely to die from regular flu :console:

They don't have a lot of Pigs.

We should really start referring to this flu has the Mexican flu.

So we can start killing all the Mexicans? <_<

Normal flu is actually various strains of flu, some more serious then others. Look up some deadly strains and worry about them :P

Lol. If you're going preserved meat go SPAM; much better.

shelf, you should cook that corned beef before you eat it in order to kill the listeria bacteria.

and the cans are likely coated with bisphenol-a which is toxic and linked to cancer. :P

And corned beef caused the last outbreak of cholera in the UK.

I don't generally panic about healthcare issues.  I only really panic about ones in the news :)

Edit:  In fact I'm highly blase about health stuff.  I don't believe in 'low-fat' or 'low-sugar' stuff so I'm a big consumer of cream, full fat milk, butter and so on :)

Speaking of Spam, I had my bi-annual Spam lunch recently.

Fried a can of spam(thin slices), toasted bread(light, not dark) and Miracle whip.

Rather tasty. Not something I'd want to eat every other day again, but tasty every so often.

@ sheilbh. those low fat thingees are scams. cream, butter, salt, red meat, are all awesome things.

what you want, ideally, are whole foods, as fresh and as unprocessed as possible. and eat a variety of things.
