Ban Factory Farms Spreading Deadly Flu

Despite years of warnings by public interest organizations such as the Organic Consumers Association and the Humane Society of the U.S.,
intensive confinement factory farms are incubating deadly viruses that could set off a deadly epidemic. A dangerous and rapidly spreading
strain of influenza, which combines genetic material from pigs, birds and humans in a way researchers have not seen before, has killed over
150 people in Mexico, infecting thousands, and has spread to over a dozen countries, including the United States. President Obama himself
may have been exposed to the disease, according to the New York Times, given that a Mexican official, Felipe Solis, he met with last week
subsequently died with flu-like symptoms.
