For this week I am going to cover the H5N8 Bird Flu and how it will affect the food sources across Europe, The Arabic Peninsula, Asia, and North America. These are the main chicken-eating areas. (Keep in mind I am putting Eastern Europe and Western Europe together with Scandinavia.) *I am NOT saying this is where H5N8 started. Or created!* There was a culling of chickens because of H5N8 in Saudi Arabia. Chickens are a frequently eaten protein there along with beef and a variety of meats allowed by The Halal Diet. I by no means am an expert on their diet I had to go through google to find it. Below is a site that will give what they are allowed to eat. Amazingly, the only thing excluded is pork. This bird flu could limit their diet if it spreads to other avian protein sources like turkeys. That would be devastating. Should this virus get into wild migrating birds, we are talking about a worldwide catastrophe. The good thing is they have caught a case in the capital of Riyadh....
