So whats with Tommy Thompson and others comments recently about wondering why terrorists haven’t targeted the food supply?  
I even heard one guy explaining a method of infecting pigs with a virus.  
It doesn’t make any sense to me to be discussing vulnerabilities during times of war.Especially when the enemy is not contained to a specific country or even a part of the world and does not abide by the rules of civilized warfare.

Jay Leno said that the fast food places are already poisoning our food supply. 😃
