CHICKENS, BIRD FLU AND HEALTH RISK

Canada's Dr. John Blatherwick is one of the few health experts brave enough to speak out on the bird flu pandemic non-threat:

"I wouldn't put it on anybody's radar," he says of the feared, poultry-triggered flu pandemic.

"When you put a billion dollars against something like this, it's disproportionate to the threat ... The greatest danger that chickens pose is the fried type, that people continue to eat and get fat on."
