7. Swine Flu information is constantly being changed around and made to be much more deadly then it really is. Only articles about the "newest" outbreak and the "deadliest" form are being displayed to the public. Many articles tried to prove to us the "cures" of Swine Flu and if you do these things you will be safe, but no article can really tell us how to exactly prevent the this type of flu.

8. There are many articles out there that rip on McDonalds. One movie inparticular, Supersize Me, exposed the calories in all the food and the health risks that come along with eating their food. Many watched and swore to themselves that they would never eat at McDonalds ever again. Morgan Spurlock can be looked at as a modern day "Muckraker". He has also written many articles and a book exposing the hidden truths in the food industry. []
