WHY no national emergency to make folks stop eating bacon? That is the REAL “swine” problem in this country. Look at the number of deaths from heart disease!
Very interesting list. I’ve not seen a list like that.
Still, why a national emergency for swine flu? Something political is going on... maybe they have to milk it for everything they’ve got because they made such a big deal (70,000 deaths predicted) out of it awhile back?
My father ate bacon,eggs,hashbrowns all his life and he lived to be 95. I guess it finally got him. :-)
