Is our food safe?

They told us there was no risk of BSE from beef and now they are telling us there is no risk of Avian Flu from chicken and eggs. Can you really trust these people?

They are at it again, Various authorities, the media and tame scientists are telling us it is safe to eat poultry and eggs, which is contrary to common sense in the light of the Avian Flue risk. Quote: "Birds excrete the virus in their faeces, which dry and become pulverised, and are then inhaled". So what if a dead chicken or an egg has specs of dried faeces on them which you then take home and inhale?

Remember BSE? They told us there was no scientific evidence of risk while ignoring the precautionary principle and the fact that no evidence of risk is not evidence of no risk. Of course, as usual, this is all about profit before people. Better to risk the health of millions of consumers than impede the food industry in any way.
