The real lesson of epidemics like H1N1, Mad Cow, and eColi is that farming practices and their supervision are woefully inadequate, particularly when animals are kept in overly crowded, filthy conditions, and where they are processed in equally septic abattoirs. Factory farms seem purposely designed to replicate the worst aspects of Dickensian cities, with similarly predictable results. That is also a design and management problem that deserves urgent attention.]]> Jon Seward http://places.designobserver.com/feature/viral-cities/13948/#comments 2010-10-21T15:05:10-05:00
