"Mr President, avian flu, like other viral infections, can be very dangerous. The document on preparedness and response planning in the event of a flu pandemic is certainly necessary and will undoubtedly be helpful. I would, however, like to draw your attention today to another problem. This is a problem that is rarely mentioned when discussing broad prophylactic measures. We ought to consider plans to decentralise poultry farming and return to using natural feeding methods. Poultry living in such conditions and fed in a natural manner will be more resistant to disease, and the meat produced will be healthier for humans than that obtained from mass-produced poultry, or in other words crowded flocks of birds that are fed an unvarying and unnatural diet and sometimes kept in very stressful conditions. Furthermore, profit-driven production achieved in such a deceitful manner is harmful, and the profits made are then in any case destroyed when billions of birds that are sick and have weak immune systems need to be culled."@en1
