Everyone is all freaked out about milk and burgers, when we should really be more concerned about the wild birds and rodents that are living in close proximity with humans.
We should really be concerned that we’re still doing animal agriculture at all
Should we? Don’t you need to be in close contact for transmission? I don’t know about you, but I’m usually not all that close to the birds and rodents in my neighborhood. They tend to see humans and go the opposite direction.
“USDA is confident that the meat supply is safe. USDA has a rigorous meat inspection process” and “multiple safeguards in place to protect consumers,” the agency said in a statement sent to media outlets on Monday. “We recommend consumers properly handle raw meats and cook to a safe internal temperature,” which kills bacteria and viruses in meat, the agency added.Can you get avian flue from handling or consuming raw meat
You should pretty much never consume raw meat and you can handle meat with gloves and wash your hands afterward and you would probably be safe.
Of course, you could just not eat meat.
I didn’t bother mentioning that I’m vegetarian because that’s irrelevant to questions of public health
I can’t get it from meat but my neighbors can
And I was using the general ‘you.’
Also can sous vide the meat which will pasteurize the meat without drying it out.
That doesn’t answer the question

They keep saying the risk is low which sounds to me like you CAN get it from tainted meat
Ending animal ag is long overdue
Nah. Keep the zoonotic diseases coming. What’s the worst that could happen? /s
