1. Chickens started that rumor.

Made cows mad.

[Shell Beau]

18. Hehehe!! Clever, aren't ya!

;)

[Fox Mulder]

2. Can't eat chicken. Can't eat beef.

Why, God, why? :cry:

[DS1]

4. Can't even eat fish!

I guess we have to turn to the dogs

[Fox Mulder]

5. Do dogs taste like beef?

[chaska]

13. Is that a gay joke?

:spank:

[Fox Mulder]

17. ?

No...I don't think so.

[Shell Beau]

19. I hear cats are pretty tasty!

:P

:silly:

[DS1]

22. Especially if they're cooked with songbirds in their mouths

like an apple in a pig's.

[Shell Beau]

23. Ha ha!! Good one!

:spray:

[RebelOne]

21. Now's the time for you meat eaters to turn vegetarian.

I'm glad that I am, as I don't have to worry about all that.

[WeRQ4U]

26. I'll risk it.

3. Alrighty

[Pacifist Patriot]

6. Link?

LOL! Okay, someone had to say that.

I'm a vegetarian so I have no concerns...unless it mutates and some idiot carnivore coughs on me.

8. Watch out for those GM veggies!

You don't know what might be in their DNA.

[Pacifist Patriot]

12. I think someone said something about spiders.

[WindRavenX]

7. it wouldn't be shocking , however-

Many viruses have an oral/fecal route of infection (like polio), but for something of an influenza-like virus, I'd be hesitate to believe this can be spread in the same manner, since it usually has tropism for the respiratory cells.

[DS1]

9. puts a new outlook on eat shit and die

dunnit?

[WindRavenX]

10. or

eat, shit, and die? :evilgrin:

(i heart commas to manipulate meaning...heeh heeh)

[nutsnberries]

11. only if you eat the chicken uncooked. that's what i heard.

[Kellanved]

14. Just avoid the raw chicken sashimi

n/t

[arwalden]

15. Are They Eating Raw Chicken Lungs?

Properly cooked chicken meat will not give you "bird-flu". Good grief! Sounds like more propaganda from that organization that shall not be named.

Someone please explain to me how a fragile virus survives the cooking temperatures?

[HEyHEY]

20. It can't, the bird flu hit here last year

I covered it because they were disposing of all the dead chickens in my area. I even stood over a pit of dead chickens... I'm alive still

[Theres-a]

16. It was probably duck's blood soup

:puke:

[friesianrider]

24. Glad I don't have to worry about it one bit :)

There's a very easy solution to avoid Mad Cow disease and Bird Flu - go veggie :)

[Initech]

25. I'm not too worried about it.
