Hope one and all are paying attention.

Bloomberg News is reporting out a story about the Trump Administration allowing diseased Chicken to enter the food chain. They are seeking a rule change from the FDA to pull this off.

And we have 170k or more uncalled for deaths! What the hell,pay attention,this shit has to stop.

12. Why it's easy as pie, all you gotta do is try*. You've got your DU tab where you're posting an op.

You've got your source tab with the information you're posting.

1)Highlight the web address of your source tab in the address bar using the left-click/drag method. Right click on that and select "copy" from the drop-down menu.

2) Go to your DU tab and left-click to establish a cursor and type in "link" in the spot where you want to put the web address from step 1). Put a couple spaces to the right of your cursor to let the web address "breathe". (addresses must have clear space before and after them) Right-click and select "paste" from the drop-down menu.

Voila! Success is yours. If an old geezer like me can learn to do this so can you!

7. Yw!

Glad to help.

If you are on a phone, tap the address bar & a little square will appear. Tap it & you have copied the address. Then return to DU & press screen until "paste" appears. Tap paste & you are good to go.

On a pc, put cursor in address bar at top, & press "home" then click & drag cursor across accress. Then hold "control" key & press letter C to copy. Go back to DU. Put cursor where you want address & hold "control" & press "V" key.

Wala! You just learned!

Diseased Chicken for Dinner? The USDA Is Considering It

In July the FSIS approved a petition from the National Chicken Council requesting that slaughterhouses be allowed to process broilers infected with Avian Leukosis — a virus that causes chickens to develop cancerous lesions and tumors. Inspectors would no longer be required to examine the first 300 birds of each flock for signs of the disease, and processors would be able to cut off tumors and lesions and then process the rest of the bird. The approval has led to a proposed rule change that is now before the food safety administrator Paul Kiecker.

Here’s what we know about Avian Leukosis: A small percentage of birds (less than 1%) are diagnosed with the virus each year, but it spreads quickly through flocks and tens of thousands of chickens are condemned annually due to exposure. While it’s unlikely that the virus could transfer from chickens to humans, it’s not impossible. There is some evidence that workers exposed to birds infected with the disease in the U.K. have developed antibodies, indicating a transfer of the virus from animal to human.

Parthapratim Basu, who served as the Chief Public Health Veterinarian for the FSIS from 2016 to 2018, explained that Avian Leukosis is caused by a retrovirus and can become a systemic disease that passes through the blood, at which point cutting out tumors would fail to eliminate the virus. “We have always had a motto in food safety: If it’s systemic, condemn it,” said Basu.

What the hell? A rollback on the rules that keep diseased chickens out of the food supply is insane.
