Bird Flu


Bird Flu seems to be hitting the headlines back in the Uk. 13 people have died of bird flu in Thailand including the only reported case of human to human transfer. In rural Thailand most homes keep chickens for eggs and food and in Bangkok there are huge Battery Farms. The RSPCA would have a field day over here.

Most parts of the chicken are eaten over here including the feet, beak and knuckles. The only bit you see rarely is the white breast meat. At KFC when you order say a "Zinger Burger" you dont have the nice white meat! No all that is sent to the west for you lucky sods to eat. I end up with the chewy brown bits, the bits your never sure which part of the chicken they come from. I dont eat at KFC very often! I much prefare the chicken below.

I see the EU is imposing more restrictions on poultry, they must be coming in their pants, all these new laws they can pass. Thailand is doing its usual, the Press is full of the precautions other countries are taking over Bird Flu and all about Malaysia sticking their oar into Thailands business over the terrorist problems in the south of Thailand. In Thailand if the suck up Press don't report on a subject, it means it doesn't excist. So if I need to know anything will someone tell me please.
