Dairy cattle in Nevada have been infected with a new type of bird flu that’s different from the version that has spread in U.S. herds since last year, Agriculture Department officials said Wednesday.
The detection indicates that distinct forms of the virus known as Type A H5N1 have spilled over from wild birds into cattle at least twice. Experts said it raises new questions about wider spread and the difficulty of controlling infections in animals and the people who work closely with them.
“I always thought one bird-to-cow transmission was a very rare event. Seems that may not be the case,” said Richard Webby, an influenza expert at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
There is absolutely no way the level of meat, cheese, and eggs could be supported on animals just eating and using land in a natural state though.
ok. whether I eat it though, or not, won’t change whether the industry grows or shrinks.
ok we are getting into economics but it certainly does. food production is not to throw in landfills its to sell to humans. humans who buy create the market to make.
production happens before purchases and an event in the future cannot cause an event in the past. ipso facto, consumption cannot be the cause of production.
oh man you do not understand how business/capitalism works. production is based on consumption. no iso facto. its just how it works. companies that make things that are not consumed lose money and go out of business.
companies that make things that are not consumed lose money and go out of business.
this couldn’t happen if production is caused by consumption. this means that companies that go out of business because the product isn’t consumed are companies that were always operating on the risk of the product might not be consumed. in fact, all companies fit this description. All production is made without a guarantee of return. we can’t say that the return causes it.
alright. look. I have put way more into this than I intended to begin with and this argument you have here is just broken from reality and im not going to go further with this discussion.
everything I’ve said here is true. but have a nice day
