Don't Eat Pig!

The Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday it is investigating whether scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign violated regulations requiring them to destroy all pigs involved in the research.

The university may have sent 386 of the animals to a livestock dealer who in turn may have sent them to slaughter, the FDA said.

"We do not believe that there is a public health risk," said FDA Deputy Commissioner Lester Crawford.

It would be nice if they let us know where they sent them for slaughter as there are several places in the Illinois/Iowa area that has several pork plants - one of those my dad works at. Then at least we'd know which pork to watch out for.

That's interesting. It's too late for us, though. We have eaten pork a couple of times a week for about a month. If it is bad, they got me already.
