Many of my fellow dietitians have jumped into the swine flu discussion with assurances that it is safe to eat pork. Swine flu, they say, is not transmitted through ham, bacon and other meats from pigs.  But, of course, it’s the production of these foods that gave us swine flu in the first place....So while eating pork may not directly cause swine flu, the demand for pork does cause it....Moving away from meat and other factory-farmed products like dairy and eggs is the only responsible and meaningful response to diseases like swine flu. And happily, there are some great foods on the market to help consumers do this.
