The economic backlash is going to be monumental in certain countries, culling their pork and probably bird flocks. Add to that lack of tourism, etc. Not pretty.

One good thing will happen, in concert with the Midwest USA losing so many jobs and that is we will shine a light on animal husbandry, treatment of manure (hopefully changed right away to energy)and realize that many many jobs are needed in agriculture, food processing, slaughtering of animals etc., handling of waste better...even though we will and should pay more for certain foods. We are at heart an agricultural country and need to get back more to our sensible roots.

And we need to look at our garbage practices...underground cesspools of dirty diapers, chicken bones, batteries, coffee grounds, toxic chemicals etc....mg
